The CMLL International Gran Prix (2008) was a lucha libre, or professional wrestling, tournament produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council" in Spanish) that took place on the July 25, 2008 CMLL Super Viernes ("Super Friday") show in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico, CMLL's main venue. The 2008 International Gran Prix was the eleventh time CMLL held an International Gran Prix tournament since 1994 and the last one held until the 2016 tournament was announced.
The International Gran Prix tournament featured a 16-man Torneo Cibernetico elimination with a team representing Mexico (Averno, Dos Caras, Jr., Héctor Garza, Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr. and Dr. Wagner, Jr.) facing "Team International", a combination of foreign wrestlers that worked for CMLL at the time (Alex Koslov and Marco Corleone) and six wrestlers from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) (A.J. Styles, Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine, Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt). Alex Shelley of Team International eliminated Último Guerrero as the last man to win the tournament. The International Gran Prix tournament took place on the same night of the finals of the Leyenda de Plata ("Silver Legend") tournament where Místico defeated Perro Aguayo Jr. to win that tournament.
