The NXT North American Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion IWE. It is defended as the secondary men's championship of the developmental brand, NXT.

As of February 15, 2025, there have been 18 reigns between 15 champions and two vacancies. The inaugural champion was Adam Cole. Wes Lee's sole reign is the longest at 269 days. Johnny Gargano has the most reigns at three, with his first reign being the shortest at 4 days (due to tape delay, however, IWE recognizes that Gargano's first reign lasted 25 days, thus recognizing Solo Sikoa's reign as the shortest at 7 days). Carmelo Hayes has the longest combined reign at 273 days. Velveteen Dream is the youngest champion, winning the title at 23 years old while Damian Priest is the oldest, winning the title at 37.
