The BJW Junior Heavyweight Championship is a title defended in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW).
On May 7, 2017, BJW announced that it was bringing back the BJW Junior Heavyweight Championship with a tournament set to take place between May 25 and July 17.
