The NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship (NEVER無差別級6人タッグ王座, Nebā Musabetsu-kyū Roku-nin Taggu Ōza) is a professional wrestling championship owned by the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion. The current champions are Hiroshi Tanahashi, Toru Yano and Oleg Boltin, who are in their second reign as a team. It is Yano and Tanahashi's record sixth reign as individuals, and the second for Boltin. They defeated Los Ingobernables de Japón (Yota Tsuji, Bushi and Hiromu Takahashi) on June 16, 2024 in Sapporo, Japan on Night 1 of New Japan Soul.

The title was announced on December 21, 2015, with the first champions crowned on January 4, 2016. Through NJPW's relationship with Ring of Honor (ROH), the title has also been defended in the American promotion. The championship is contested for by teams of three wrestlers and is the first title of its kind in the history of NJPW. The title's openweight nature means that both heavyweight and junior heavyweight wrestlers are eligible to challenge for it.

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a match with a predetermined outcome.
