New Year's Revolution is a series of professional wrestling shows held by WWE in January. The event first took place from 2005 to 2007 and aired on pay-per-view (PPV). All three events during this time were exclusive to the Raw brand. The show was no longer on the WWE schedule starting in 2008 when they removed more PPVs per year.

After thirteen years, WWE brought back the New Year's Revolution name for a house show tour in 2020. Four years later, WWE used the name for a television special for the SmackDown brand.
