The AEW Continental Championship is a men's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established on November 18, 2023, the title has a special attribute in that it is defended under Continental Rules in which no one is allowed at ringside and outside interference is strictly prohibited. The current champion is Kazuchika Okada, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating Eddie Kingston on the March 20, 2024, episode of Dynamite.

The title is also the prize of the Continental Classic (C2), an annual round-robin tournament that begins at the end of November and culminates at the Worlds End pay-per-view event in late December. The champion at the time of the tournament is automatically entered and defends the title in the C2. Eddie Kingston became the first ever Continental Champion after winning the inaugural C2 in December 2023. Kingston was subsequently also recognized by AEW as the American Triple Crown Champion, also referred to as the Continental Crown, as he simultaneously held the ROH World Championship of sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) and the Strong Openweight Championship of partner promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). After Kazuchika Okada won the Continental Championship in March 2024, it was separated from the Triple Crown.
