The NXT Championship is a men's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion WWE, defended as the top men's championship of NXT, the promotion's developmental brand. The current champion is Grayson Waller, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating previous champion Tony D'Angelo, Cruz Montana, and Zilla Fatu in a fatal four-way match at Heatwave on August 30, 2026.

Introduced on July 1, 2012, it was the first championship established for NXT, and the inaugural champion was Seth Rollins. In September 2019, WWE began promoting NXT as its "third brand" when the NXT television program was moved to the USA Network. The NXT Championship was referred to as a world championship during this time; however, this recognition was dropped when NXT reverted to its original function as WWE's developmental brand in September 2021. In September 2022, the NXT United Kingdom Championship was unified into the NXT Championship.
