The China Touring Car Championship (CTCC;) is a touring car racing series based in China and sanctioned by Lisheng Sports. It was established in 2004 following the opening of Shanghai International Circuit, and was known as the China Circuit Championship (CCC) between 2004 and 2008. The series currently consists of two classes - the TCR-based Super class, which has also been known as the TCR China Touring Car Championship since 2023, and the production car-based Sports Cup.

The series tried to join forces with the Japanese Touring Car Championship, which attempted to reboot itself in 2012.
