"Never Say Die" is a song by English rock band Black Sabbath. It is the title track from their 1978 album of the same name. It was their first UK single to chart since " Paranoid" in 1970.

The group performed the song on Top of the Pops in 1978.

Never Say Die is a memoir by Jack Hawkins, a lieutenant with the United States Army's 4th Marines in World War II. It was first published in 1961. The book relates Hawkins' experiences as a prisoner of war in Japanese prison camps after the American surrender in the Philippines. When he and others finally escape from a camp, they join the American-Filipino guerrillas under the command of Lt. Col Wendell Fertig. Hawkins serves with Fertig for several months and is involved in numerous actions. For these actions he was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross

Eventually evacuated to Australia by an American submarine, Hawkins later was involved in planning for the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He stayed in the USMC after World War II and eventually retired as a full Colonel.

Never Say Die is the fourth studio album of the Christian rock band, Petra. It was released in 1981. "The Coloring Song" was a radio hit for the band and sales were higher for this album than the previous. This album set the stage for Petra's success in the 1980s and their next few albums duplicated much of the formula, as well as repeated the "guitar" theme on the album cover.

The album is the first to feature new members John Slick and Mark Kelly ( keyboards and bass respectively).

StarSong Records later re-issued the album on a single CD with 1979's Washes Whiter Than. Washes Whiter Than had two tracks cut for space; Never Say Die was included in full.

Never Say Die is a 1988 New Zealand action comedy starring Temuera Morrison and Lisa Eilbacher. It was written and directed by Geoff Murphy.

Never Say Die (1951–1975) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After winning only once from his first nine races, he demonstrated much improved form in the summer of 1954 to win the Epsom Derby, becoming the first American colt to win the race in seventy-three years. Later that year he added a second British Classic when winning the St. Leger Stakes by a record margin of twelve lengths. He was later retired to a successful stud career.

Never Say Die is a live video by heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was recorded on the 10th Anniversary tour in June 1978, at London's Hammersmith Odeon.

In the UK it was one of the earliest music home videos, being released on both the Betamax and VHS formats, the latter being repackaged and reissued several times on VHS. It was also a Japanese laserdisc release and is now on DVD. The running-time is some 60 minutes (dropping some of the guitar solo and band improvisation, by comparison with ROIO from the same tour), this being the length of the commercial videotape cassettes. It would be unusual if the entire show had not been filmed, before subsequent editing, although the DVD release was the same as the videotape and laserdisc releases: it is unknown whether the full concert exists still on mastertape.

Never Say Die is a 1939 romantic comedy film starring Martha Raye and Bob Hope. Based on a play of the same title by William H. Post and William Collier, Sr., which ran on Broadway for 151 performances in 1912, the film was directed by Elliot Nugent and written for the screen by Dan Hartman, Frank Butler and Preston Sturges. The supporting cast features Andy Devine, Alan Mowbray, Gale Sondergaard, Sig Ruman and Monty Woolley.

The Post/Collier play had previously been adapted in 1924 as a silent film of the same name and was remade as the 2004 South Korean film Someone Special. Other films with the same or similar titles are not related.

Never Say Die is a British television series which aired in 1970. Cast included Reginald Marsh, Patrick Newell, Noel Purcell, Teddy Green, Larry Noble, Wilfrid Brambell, Ken Parry, Mary Healey and Hugh Walters. It was a comedy produced by Yorkshire Television. Of the six episodes produced, 2 are missing from the archives.

"Never Say Die" is the third solo single by American rock singer Jon Bon Jovi. It was released in 1991 from his debut album Blaze of Glory, the soundtrack album from the film Young Guns II. In Australia it became Jon Bon Jovi's third solo single to chart when it entered the charts on April 7, 1991 and peaked at number 60 during a four-week run.

The song was covered by Glaswegian hard rock outfit Ayrial on their debut album The Life. The band changed the song's title to Someday to reflect the evolving nature of lead singer Dee McLaren's progressive musical vision. In his autobiography, McLaren described his cover as "the perfect song."
