The Pure Championship is a title contested for in the North Americian independent professional wrestling promotion Ring Of Honor.

Matches for the Pure Championship are conducted under three simple Pure Rules:

• Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls during the match. After a wrestler exhausts his rope breaks, sumbission and pin attempts under the ropes are considered legal.
• There are no closed-fist punches to the face allowed in a Pure match, only open-handed slaps or chops to the face are allowed. Punches to other parts of the body (save for low-blows) are permitted.
• A wrestler is subject to a twenty count by the referee if the wrestler goes to the floor.

Trivia
