The National Wrestling Association World Junior Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship sanctioned by the National Wrestling Association, an offshoot of the National Boxing Association, and was contested for by wrestlers weighing between 175 lb (79 kg) and 190 lb (86 kg). The title existed from 1936 through 1949, when it was unified with the National Wrestling Alliance's version of the championship. Leroy McGuirk was the champion when the title was unified, but he was later forced to vacate the belt on February 7, 1950 when he was blinded in an automobile accident.
