Never Surrender is the sixth studio album by Canadian hard rock band Triumph, released in 1982.

"All the Way" was Triumph's highest charting song on the Top Rock Tracks chart, but did not sustain that level of popularity with Triumph fans as the song is not included on their 1985 live album Stages, the later Classics or 2005's Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology album.
