"Never Say Die" is the title track from the 1978 album Never Say Die! by Black Sabbath. It was the last single Black Sabbath wrote with singer Ozzy Osbourne, who left the band and went on to a successful solo career, until 1998's Reunion. Osbourne actually left the band before Never Say Die! was released, but came back to record this album.

The band collectively chose the title as a phrase that summed up the previous ten years of their lives. It deals with never giving up. This is commonly cited as ironic, because Osbourne left the band again after the album's release.

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

The song was covered by Megadeth on the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black II.

It was also covered by Overkill on their cover album Coverkill.

Ozzy Osbourne performed "Never Say Die" for his live album Speak of the Devil.

The song also plays over the credits of the 2009 video game, Brütal Legend.
