The Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro/RPW) promotion. The title was created and debuted on July 16, 2005 and is the promotion's principal championship. Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won via the result of predetermined matches. The current champion is Will Ospreay, who is in his first reign, after defeating Zack Sabre Jr. on February 14, 2020 at RevPro High Stakes 2020 in York Hall, England.

The current title was formed after the IPW:UK Championship and the All-England Championship were unified into the Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship, but later became known as simply the British Heavyweight Championship after RPW separated itself from International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK). The title has been defended in the United States and in Japan through RPW's working relationships with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). In 2018 championship name was reverted back to Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship.
