The IWGP Intercontinental Championship (IWGPインターコンチネンタル王座, IWGP intākonchinentaru ōza) was a professional wrestling championship owned by the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion. "IWGP" is the acronym of NJPW's governing body, the International Wrestling Grand Prix (インターナショナル・レスリング・グラン・プリ, intānashonaru resuringu guran puri). The title was officially announced on January 5, 2011, and the Inaugural Champion MVP was crowned on May 15, 2011, during NJPW's first tour of the United States. On March 4, 2021, the championship was physically retired by NJPW after being unified with the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to form the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, with the title being officially retired on January 6, 2026 following the IWGP World Championship's reigns being merged back into the IWGP Heavyweight's, those reigns also being retroactively merged with the Intercontinental Championship's history as well. The final champion was Yota Tsuji, who was in his first reign at the time of the title's retirement.

The title formed what was unofficially called the "New Japan Triple Crown" (新日本トリプルクラウン, Shin Nihon Toripuru Kuraun) along with the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the NEVER Openweight Championship.
