The Ironheart Crown (IHC) is a US based mixed martial arts organization founded in 1999. The official first event took place on November 6, 1999.

The first two events were held in Chicago, Illinois, but the need for a much larger venue and the lack of sanctioning within the state of Illinois pushed the event into Indiana. As of July 1, 2008 MMA is fully sanctioned in Illinois and the promotion is returning to the city of its founding.
