"Never Can Say Goodbye" is a song by American group The Jackson 5 from their fifth studio album, Maybe Tomorrow (1971). It was released on March 16, 1971 by Motown as the album's first single.

The song was written by Clifton Davis and produced by Hal Davis. The song was originally written and intended for the Supremes; however, Motown decided it would be better for the Jackson 5. It has been covered numerous times, most notably in 1974 by Gloria Gaynor and in 1987 by British synth-pop duo the Communards.
