The MTV Video Music Awards Japan are the Japanese version of the MTV Video Music Awards.

Like the MTV Video Music Awards in the United States, in this event artists are awarded for their songs and videos through online voting from the same channel viewers. Initially Japan was part of the MTV Asia Awards, which included all Asian countries, but because of the musical variety existent in Japan, in May 2002 began to hold their own awards independently.

On June 25, 2011, MTV Video Music Japan changed for Charity Event for 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in MTV Video Music Aid Japan 2011.
