AEW Battle of the Belts is an American series of professional wrestling television specials produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The one-hour specials are broadcast on TNT in the United States and air quarterly throughout the year. The series currently airs on select Saturday nights at 10 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) immediately after AEW's regular Saturday program, Collision; the series originally aired on select Saturday nights at 8 p.m. ET, but was moved to Fridays at 11 p.m. ET beginning with the fourth episode before its move back to Saturdays with the seventh episode. Battle of the Belts premiered with a live episode on January 8, 2022. The 11th and most recent special aired live on July 27, 2024.

The theme of the show was originally that all matches were contested for professional wrestling championships; in 2024, this expanded to include matches for future opportunities at championships. Thus far, seven of AEW's nine championships have been defended on the specials. This includes five men's titles—the TNT Championship, the International Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, the World Trios Championship, and the FTW Championship—and both women's titles—the Women's World Championship and TBS Championship. There have also been five championships from AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) contested. These include four men's titles—the World Championship, the World Television Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship—and one women's title—the Women's World Championship.

As of July 2024, only three title changes have occurred during Battle of the Belts episodes, two of which involved Sammy Guevara. The first was on the inaugural episode which saw him defeat Dustin Rhodes to determine the interim TNT Champion and the other was on the second episode in which he defeated Scorpio Sky to win his record-tying third TNT Championship. The third title change occurred on the 11th episode which saw Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs (Marshall Von Erich and Ross Von Erich) defeat The Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett) to win the vacant ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Additionally, three matches have not been contested for a championship, as they were Championship Eliminator matches, a stipulation in which if the challenger defeats the champion, they get a future title match against that champion, but if they lose, they can no longer challenge that champion for the duration of their respective reign. The first occurred on the 10th episode while the other two occurred on the 11th episode.
