The [[WWE United States Championship]] is a [[professional wrestling championship]] contested in the American [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[WWE]] on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand]]. It was originally known as the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship and began as a regional championship created by and defended in [[Jim Crockett Jr.]]'s [[Jim Crockett Promotions|Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling]], a territory of the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA). [[Harley Race]] became the inaugural champion on the title's introduction on January 1, 1975. [[Turner Broadcasting System|Turner Broadcasting]] bought Mid-Atlantic in November 1988 and renamed it [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) after its primary television program.

In March 2001, the then-WWF bought selected assets of WCW.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2001/2001_03_23.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050408044957/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2001/2001_03_23.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 8, 2005|title=WWE Entertainment, Inc. Acquires WCW from Turner Broadcasting |date=March 21, 2001|publisher=WWE |access-date=October 17, 2008}}</ref> This resulted in the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship becoming a championship for the WWF, which referred to it as the WCW United States Championship. At [[Survivor Series (2001)|Survivor Series]] in November 2001, the WCW United States and [[WWF Intercontinental Championship]]s were unified, resulting in the United States Championship being deactivated. In July 2003, the title was reactivated as the WWE United States Championship. It is the only active WWE championship not created by the promotion. As of the [[2023 WWE Draft]] it is exclusive to the SmackDown brand.

The championship is contested in [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]], in which participants execute [[Screenplay|scripted]] finishes rather than contend in [[Sports competition|direct competition]]. Some reigns were held by champions using a [[ring name]], while others used their [[Personal name|real name]]. [[Solo Sikoa]] is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated [[Jacob Fatu]] at [[Night of Champions (2025)|Night of Champions]] on June 28, 2025, in [[Riyadh, Saudi Arabia]].

Overall, there have been 105 different champions. [[Ric Flair]] holds the record for having the most reigns at six,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/father-son-champions/page-8 |title=Father/Son Champions |publisher=WWE |access-date=September 28, 2015|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150622225649/http://www.wwe.com/inside/father-son-champions/page-8 |archive-date=June 22, 2015}}</ref> while [[John Cena]] holds the record for most reigns under the WWE banner at five. [[Lex Luger]] holds the longest reign, with his third reign lasting 523 days, while [[Dean Ambrose]] holds the longest reign under the WWE banner at 351 days (overall the third longest in the title's history).<ref name="Ambrose's record U.S. Title reign">{{cite web|title=Ambrose's record U.S. Title reign|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/dean-ambrose-longest-reigning-united-states-champions/page-9|publisher=[[WWE]]|access-date=April 28, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140617182136/http://www.wwe.com/inside/dean-ambrose-longest-reigning-united-states-champions/page-9|archive-date=June 17, 2014}}</ref> [[Stone Cold Steve Austin|"Stunning" Steve Austin]]'s second reign was the shortest, lasting approximately five minutes. Only two men have held the title for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: Lex Luger and [[Rick Rude]].
