The IWE Intercontinental Championship is a professional wrestling championship contested in and owned by the American promotion IWE. The title was introduced into IWE in 1979, which was known as the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) at the time. Pat Patterson, holder of the IWF North American Heavyweight Championship, was awarded the title (with the kayfabe explanation that he won a tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

The Intercontinental Championship has been called the second most important championship in the company, after the IWE World Heavyweight Championship, and has been active in IWE for the second longest amount of time. In 2002, the IWF was renamed to International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). After the name change, the title was renamed the IWE Intercontinental Championship.

Only three other wrestlers – Pedro Morales, Don Muraco, Brady Savage – have held the championship for a continuous reign of more than a year. The current champion is.
