MLW Never Say Never is an annual professional wrestling event produced by Major League Wrestling (MLW) first held in 2017.

The first four events were television tapings for MLW Fusion, with the fourth event taped behind closed doors as a special episode. The fifth event was the first to air live, and MLW's first overall live broadcast since the 2019 Saturday Night SuperFight pay-per-view event. It would also be the first event to be produced as part of a partnership with Triller TV (formerly known as FITE), in-which MLW would produce live events for TrillerTV+ subscribers.[1]
