The MWA World Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling title in the Kansas City, Kansas-based Midwest Wrestling Association (MWA). It was the direct predecessor of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight Championship.

The title was created in 1940, and awarded to Bobby Bruns that January, in recognition of his winning the defeating Maurice Boyer in Bridgeport, Connecticut on November 10 1939 for the Jack Pfeffer-promoted World Light Heavyweight Championship.cite web|title=Orville Brown - biography|work=Puroresu Dojo|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/personalities/brown_orville/bio.html|accessdate=2008-08-03] The title lasted until the MWA joined the newly formed NWA in October 1948, with the MWA champion, Orville Brown, recognized as the first NWA World Heavyweight Champion.cite book | author=Duncan, Royal and Gary Will | title=Wrestling Title Histories, Fourth Edition | publisher=Archeus Communications | year=2006 | id=ISBN 0-9698161-5-4 ] cite web|title=M.W.A.
