is an annual single-elimination tournament created and promoted by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. The event has been held since 2015 and aired domestically on Tokyo MX, Fighting TV Samurai and Nippon TV, and later as an internet pay-per-view on Stardom's streaming service Stardom World.

The main gimmick of the tournament is that the winner is being granted a wish, which usually turns up to be a championship match of their choice. Just as the real life fairytale of Cinderella depicting a girl who achieves fame after being obscure, the winner of the tournament transits from "neglected" to "famous", eventually moving up to a championship scene.

Events As of 2026, there have been a total of twelve events. The first was presented under the name Cinderella Champions Fiesta, later becoming known simply as the Cinderella Tournament. Until 2021, the event used to be a one-day pay-per-view but later switched to a multi-day event.
