List of professional wrestling attendance records in Japan

The list is dominated by the country's largest promotion, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).

The company was founded by Antonio Inoki in 1972 and had a long rivalry with Giant Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling.

AJPW set a number of attendance records during its heyday, especially during the 1990s wrestling boom, however, only three of its shows remain on the list as of 2023.
