The Strong Openweight Championship (STRONG無差別級王座, STRONG musabetsu-kyū ōza) is a professional wrestling world championship owned and promoted by the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It is exclusively featured on NJPW's Strong brand and is defended at NJPW Strong branded shows in America. The current champion is Boltin Oleg, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating Tomohiro Ishii at The New Beginning USA in Trenton, New Jersey, on February 27, 2026.

The title was officially announced on April 2, 2021, and the inaugural champion was Tom Lawlor. It was primarily featured on NJPW's American television program NJPW Strong, which includes American wrestlers, as well as on programming by NJPW partner American promotions All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). When the title is jointly held with the AEW Continental Championship and ROH World Championship, the three titles together make up the American Triple Crown Championship, also referred to as the Continental Crown; as of March 2024, this has only happened once.
