The Global Honored Crown (GHC) Hardcore Championship (Japanese: GHCハードコア王座, Hepburn: GHC Hādokoa Ōza) is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, originally created in 2004 as a singles title known as the Global Hardcore Crown (GHC) Openweight Hardcore Championship (グローバル・ハードコア・クラウン無差別級王座, Gurōbaru Hādokoa Kuraun Musabetsu-kyū Ōza). Colloquially known as the "White GHC" belt due to its white leather strap, the championship was primarily associated with Jun Akiyama during it original run. Most matches contested for the championship were held with a 15-minute time limit and often featured special stipulations chosen by the champion. The championship was first retired in 2009.

The original title had a total of nine reigns shared between eight different champions. The title brought back in 2023 and given a new name, the GHC Hardcore Championship. The GHC Hardcore Championship has had a total of two reigns shared between two champions. The current titleholder is Ninja Mack who is in his first reign.
