The Mexican National Middleweight Championship (Campeonato National Medio) is a national Mexican professional wrestling championship controlled by Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). The title is a "National" title in that it’s intended for Mexican’s only, by birth or by citizenship, the title is only supposed to be defended in "normal" matches, i.e. no hardcore matches etc. although that rule has at times been overlooked.[1]

The title has been in use since at least 1933 and is still in use today. It has been primarily defended in the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promotion since AAA's inception in 1992. Since it’s a "National" title it’s ostentatiously defended in various Mexican promtions, but in reality it’s been promoted mainly by AAA since the promotion’s creation and rarely defended outside their shows.[2]
