The Hurt Syndicate is a villainous professional wrestling stable in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). They are best known for their tenure in WWE from 2020 to 2022, where they were known as The Hurt Business.

For much of its existence, the group was composed of MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander and the stable was the centrepoint of the ThunderDome era during the COVID-19 pandemic. The group held four different championships seven times, with Lashley holding the WWE and United States Championships while Alexander and Benjamin held the Raw Tag Team Championship once and the 24/7 Championship four times each (Benjamin held it three times and Alexander held it once). The group was gradually disbanded after Lashley and MVP left the group in early 2022 but Alexander and Benjamin continued to function as a tag team under The Hurt Business name until that August. In October 2024, MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin reformed the group in AEW as The Hurt Syndicate.
