Night of Champions (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), which took place on June 29, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was the first annual event to be promoted soley under the Night of Champions name and the eighth annual event under the Vengeance chronology. It starred wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and XCW brands. Like the previous year before, every match on the card was contested for a championship; three were won and five were retained.

The main event was an interpromotional match for the IWE Championship between SmackDown representative, Triple K, and Raw representative, Dustin Simpson; Triple K won the match and retained the championship. The main match was also an interpromotional match for the World Heavyweight Championship between SmackDown representative, Edge, and Raw representative, Jesse Dern, which Edge won to retain the championship. The main match from the XCW brand was an interpromotional standard match involving three wrestlers for the XCW Championship, in which XCW representative, Steven Larson, defeated the champion and Raw representative, Chris LeGreca, and SmackDown representative, The Big Marc.

Night of Champions received 273,000 pay-per-view buys, and was instrumental in helping IWE increase its pay-per-view revenue by $21.9 million compared to the previous year. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website rated the entire event a 7 out of 10 stars, higher and lower than the 2007 event's ratings of 5 and 7.5 out of 10 (there were two ratings because two different writers reviewed the show).
