List of professional wrestling matches rated 5 or more stars by Dave Meltzer

Professional wrestling journalist and sports historian Dave Meltzer has assigned his ratings to professional wrestling events since the creation of his publication, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in 1982, and named his first 5-star match in 1983. Receiving a 5 or higher star rating is considered by many to be a great achievement.

The first match rated more than five stars by Meltzer was Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat in 1989. The highest-ever rating is seven stars, awarded to Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega at Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall in June 2018.

There have been 287 matches awarded 5 or more stars; Will Ospreay has the most individual matches with 52. Ospreay is also one of five wrestlers to have been awarded five stars for two matches on the same night; the other four wrestlers are Akira Hokuto, Kyoko Inoue, Manami Toyota and Toshiyo Yamada.
