The MCW Light Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling light heavyweight championship owned by the Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW) promotion. The title was created and debuted on July 19, 1998 at a MCW live 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 happen at live events, which are usually released on DVD. The inaugural champion was Shane Shamrock, who defeated Christian York, Joey Matthews, Mark Schrader, Quinn Nash, and Earl the Pearl in a Six Way match on July 19, 1998 win at an MCW live event to become the first champion.
