The CMLL World Middleweight Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Mundial de Peso Medio del CMLL) is a professional wrestling world championship promoted by the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). While lighter weight classes are regularly ignored in wrestling promotions in the United States, with most emphasis placed on "heavyweights", more emphasis is placed on the lighter classes in Mexican companies. The official definition of the middleweight division in Mexico is a person between 82 kg (181 lb) and 87 kg (192 lb), but the weight limits are not strictly adhered to. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via legitimate competition; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or on occasion awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline.

The championship is currently held by Templario, who defeated Dragón Rojo, Jr. for the title on May 12, 2023. Dragón Rojo Jr. is the longest reigning champion in the history of the championship. Since its creation in 1991, there have been 22 individual championship reigns shared between 11 wrestlers. El Dandy is the only three-time champion; he also has the shortest reign of any champion at 63 days.
