Kazarian, a five time X Division Champion.

The TNA X Division Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. It is primarily contested in TNA's X Division. The title was created and debuted on June 19, 2002 at the taping of TNA's second weekly pay-per-view (PPV) event.

Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship. Title changes that happen on episodes of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!, air on television two to nine days from the date the match was taped. Changes that happened on weekly PPV events aired either during a live broadcast or aired on taped delay up to seven days apart. The inaugural champion was K.J. Styles, who defeated Low Ki, Jerry Lynn, and Psicosis in a Four Way Double Elimination match on June 19, 2002 at the taping of TNA's second weekly PPV event, which aired on June 26, 2002. At 182 days, Christopher Barnhart's first reign is the longest in the title's history.<ref name="titlehistory"/> At less than one day, Will Kapphan's only reign is the shortest in the title's history. As of January 2025, Austin Brown is the current champion is his first reign. Overall, there have been 53 reigns shared between 25 wrestlers.
