The Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship (大阪プロレスタッグ王座, Ōsaka Puroresu Taggu Ōza) is the top tag team title in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Osaka Pro Wrestling. The title was established in 2001 when Daio Quällt and Gamma won a seven-team round-robin tournament to win the inaugural titles.

Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via direct competition; it is instead won via a predetermined ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a wrestling angle. The current champions are Shu Asakawa and Toru who are in their first reign as a team.
