The IMPACT Hall of Fame is a hall of fame that honors professional wrestlers and wrestling personalities, established and maintained by IMPACT Wrestling. Introduced as the TNA Hall of Fame in 2012, it became known as the IMPACT Hall of Fame in 2017 after Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) re-branded as IMPACT Wrestling. Inductees are usually announced at either Slammiversary or on as episode of IMPACT! and the ceremony takes place prior to Bound for Glory, with a speech being delivered at Bound for Glory. However, in 2015, two were inducted into the Hall of Fame: Jeff Jarrett, who did not have a ceremony due to his actions with the company leading to a Lethal Lockdown match to depose him and his shares, while Earl Hebner was inducted at a live event.

It was officially established on the May 31, 2012 episode of then-TNA's flagship Impact Wrestling television program. As explained by TNA president Dixie Carter in the official press release, the Hall of Fame was created as part of the celebration of TNA's 10th anniversary, and as a way to honor those who contributed to TNA's history.

As of 2022, there have been 10 wrestlers inducted in total – 8 individually and one group induction. There has also been one referee induction.
