The King of DDT Tournament (Japanese: KING OF DDTトーナメント, Hepburn: Kingu Obu Dī Dī Tī Tōnamento) is an annual single elimination professional wrestling tournament held by CyberFight's DDT Pro-Wrestling brand.

Though DDT also runs the annual D-Oh Grand Prix tournament, the King of DDT is different in that it is single-elimination, whereas the D-Oh Grand Prix is a round-robin. Since the 2009 edition, the winner of the tournament, like with the D-Oh Grand Prix, would receive a championship match for the KO-D Openweight Championship.

The number of participants in the King of DDT has varied over the years, from a lowest of 8 in 2005 to a highest of 32 in 2018. Poison Sawada Julie is the inaugural winner of the tournament; Kudo, Harashima, Tetsuya Endo, Konosuke Takeshita and Kazusada Higuchi are the only two-time winners.
