The 2008 Rey del Ring (Spanish for "King of the Ring") was a major lucha libre event produced and scripted by the Mexican International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion on July 24, 2008. The show was held in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, which is IWRG's primary venue. The show was the seventh overall IWRG Rey del Ring show held, with the first being held in 2002.

The focal point of the show was the eponymous Rey del Ring tournament, a 30-man elimination match similar in concept to the WWE's Royal Rumble match. The match was won by Scorpio Jr. when he eliminated El Hijo de Cien Caras to win the tournament. Scorpio Jr. was also the person to eliminate the most wrestlers, a total of six, including El Hijo de Cien Caras, Ciclon Negro, Fuerza Guerrera, Oficial AK-47, Capitain Muerte and Tinieblas Jr. The Rey del Ring match was the only verified match on the show, although it is possible there were preliminary matches.
