The Central European championships in wrestling were tournaments for wrestlers from the countries of Central Europe that have been held seven times from 1897 to 1911 as a whole.

As was customary at the time, all tournaments were held in the Greco-Roman style . The definition of weight classes differed from tournament to tournament.
