"Someday Never Comes" is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival from their album Mardi Gras released in 1972 and written by the frontman John Fogerty. The single reached #25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1972 with Doug Clifford's "Tearin' Up the Country" released as the B-side.[2] This is the final single released by Creedence Clearwater Revival before they officially broke up in 1972.

Record World said it's "perhaps the strongest cut" on the album with "outstanding lyrics, vocals."[3]
