The All Asia Tag Team Championship is the secondary tag team championship in the tag team title in the All Japan Pro Wrestling promotion. It was created on November 16, 1955 in the Japan Wrestling Association (JWA) when King Kong Czaya and Tiger Joginder Singh defeated JWA founder Rikidōzan and Harold Sakata in a tournament final. It was abandoned in 1973 when the JWA closed, but was later revived in 1976 by AJPW. It is currently one of two tag team titles in AJPW, along with the World Tag Team Championship and its openweight championship in AJPW and also the oldest active title in Japan.
