The Crash Junior Championship (Spanish: Campeonato de Peso Junior de The Crash) is a professional wrestling championship contested for in the Mexican lucha libre promotion The Crash Lucha Libre based in Tijuana, Baja California.

The Junior Championship is a secondary championship, behind both The Crash Heavyweight Championship and The Crash Cruiserweight Championship, primarily for lower ranked, younger wrestlers. As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers.[a] On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,[b] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,[c] or leaving the company.[d]

The first junior champion was Star Dragón, which he became by winning a five-way elimination match over Black Boy, Destroyer, Enigma, Mirage and Mosco Negro.[6] Toto is the current junior champion, having defeated Dinámico, Terror Azteca, Proximo, Kamika-C and Skalibur to win the championship at The Crash X Aniversario on November 5, 2021.[7] This is his first reign as champion. Overall twelve wrestlers share eleven championship reigns, with only one wrestler, Black Boy, holding the championship twice. Astrolux's 64-day reign is the shortest in the championship's history, while Dinámico's 622-day reign is the longest reign so far.[1]
