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, had unified the title with a South American Heavyweight Championship won in a tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2002, the IWF was renamed to International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). After the name change, the title was renamed the IWE Intercontinental Championship.

The championship is contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The first champion was Pat Patterson, who won the championship in 1979, while as of June 2026 the champion is Mark Semmler. Overall, there have been 67 different champions, with Chris Jericho having the most reigns at nine.
