The Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeonato Nacional Semicompleto in Spanish) is a national Mexican singles professional wrestling championship controlled by Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). From its creation in 1943 it was not promoted by one specific promotion but shared between many Mexican promotions among others Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and in recent years in the ENSEMA promotion and the Independent circuit until December 2007 where Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) gained control of the title.[Note 1] Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately: it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. The official definition of the Light Heavyweight weight class in Mexico is between 92 kg (200 lb) and 97 kg (210 lb), but is not always strictly enforced.[Note 2][1]

Black Guzmán became the first National Light Heavyweight Champion when he won the inargual tournament in 1943. Over the following years the title was promoted by various Mexican promotions, primarily Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre but they did not assert an exclusive claim to the title. In 1992 then-CMLL booker Antonio Peña left the company to create AAA and brought a number of CMLL wrestlers with him, among others the then-reigning Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion Máscara Sagrada who took the title with him. From AAA's creation until 2002 the title was exclusively defended in AAA. In 2002 El Dandy won the title and used it as one of the focal points of the ENSEMA promotion that ran from 2002 until 2004. In December 2007 Místico won the title from Vangelis, making it an official CMLL recognized title from that point forward.[2] La Parka / L.A. Park and Pierroth, Jr. are tied for most title reigns, with four reigns, Pierroth, Jr. has the shortest reign with no more than 11 days.[Note 3] El Dandy's two reigns combine to 1,526 days, the longest of any champion, while the longest individual reign belongs to Cavernario Galindo, with 1,249 days. The current champion is La Máscara, having defeated Volador, Jr. for the title on October 5, 2010. La Máscara is the 62nd overall champion and this is his first title reign.[3]
