Millions Now Living Will Never Die is the second album by the Chicago-based band Tortoise. Released in 1996 by Thrill Jockey Records, Millions... is renowned as a groundbreaking album for post-rock; an uncredited review from Outersound.com declares that not long after the album's release, the group were "hailed as godfathers of the American 'post-rock' movement".[1] In 2006 the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series.

The album's title comes from a phrase used in the Jehovah's Witness faith, especially in the early 1900s.[2][3]
