The Panamerican Championship was an official continental competition of association football organized by the Panamerican Football Confederation (PFC) every four years for senior national teams, with three editions held from 1952 through 1960.

The competition was similar to the Copa América but included nations not only from the South American Football Confederation but also from the North American Football Confederation (NAFC) and the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF) (which merged to form CONCACAF in 1961).
