Kyushu Pro-Wrestling (Japanese: 九州プロレス, Hepburn: Kyūshū Puroresu) is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion based in Fukuoka, the largest city on the Japanese island of Kyushu. The promotion was founded in late 2007 by Kaientai Dojo alumnus Ryota Chikuzen, and officially launched on July 6, 2008. A notable feature of the promotion is that it is the first professional wrestling promotion to operate as a nonprofit organization. The promotion has its own dojo located in an auto repair shop, in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka.
In addition to wrestling matches, the organization also conducts charity activities at nursing homes, facilities for the disabled, children's homes, and preschools, and offers wrestling classes at free schools.

In the main event, the team of Ryota Chikuzen and Mentai☆Kid defeated Omega (Shiori Asahi and Yuji Hino).
On July 7, 2018, the promotion celebrated its 10th anniversary at Kinniku Yamakasa '18, at the Fukuoka Kokusai Hall.
