The Ganbare Climax (Japanese: ガンバレ☆クライマックス, Hepburn: Ganbare Kuraimakkusu, stylized as Ganbare☆Climax) is a single elimination professional wrestling tournament held by CyberFight in their Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling (GanPro) brand.

The first two editions in 2017 and 2018 had no stakes other than bragging rights. In 2021, the tournament made a comeback with LEC, Inc. as a sponsor. This edition crowned the inaugural Spirit of Ganbare World Openweight Champion.
