The International Gran Prix, sometimes written as International Grand Prix, is an annual tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), that was held from 1994 to 2008, although there was no tournament in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2004. The tournament was revived in 2016, being held annually since then (with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with the most recent edition being held in 2024. In 2022, a separate women's tournament was established and has been held annually alongside the men's tournament. The tournament was inspired by New Japan Pro-Wrestling's International Wrestling Grand Prix tournament in the 1980s.

From 1994 until 1998 the Gran Prix was a single elimination tournament that featured a mixture of Mexican and international wrestlers, some who worked for CMLL regularly and some that were invited specifically for the tournament. From 2002 and on the format was changed to a torneo cibernetico, a 16–20-man match with one side representing Mexico and the other side being composed of international wrestlers.

Volador Jr. has won the Gran Prix the most number of times, winning it for a record third time in 2022.
