The NWA Ohio Valley Light Heavyweight Championship, also known as the OVW Light Heavyweight Championship was a title contested in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). The title was created on February 9, 1999, and was retired on March 1, 2001, due to the company withdrawing its membership from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 2001 and becoming one of the first developmental territories for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). The final champion was Chris Michaels, who defeated the former champion Sean Casey at an OVW TV taping to win the title.
