K-1 PREMIUM Dynamite!! (or simply Dynamite!!) was an annual kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) event held in Japan by the Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG). It began as a co-production between the Pride Fighting Championships (PRIDE) and FEG's K-1 group, with the first event being held on August 28, 2002. The inaugural event was referred to by K-1 as "Dynamite!!" while PRIDE called the event "Shockwave". Its live audience totaled 91,108 people, which is the largest on-record attendance for either organization and the largest attendance in the history of MMA.

Even after the end of the participation of fighters from PRIDE, Dynamite!! events remained unique from other K-1 events in that they featured cards with both MMA and kickboxing bouts on them. Later, the Dynamite!! events became co-productions between K-1 and FEG's own MMA promotions — first Hero's and later DREAM. In addition to FEG's own MMA promotions, the Dynamite!! 2009 event was co-produced with the Sengoku Raiden Championship (SRC) MMA promotion.

In 2007, the only Dynamite!! event to be hosted outside of Japan, Dynamite!! USA, was held. Dynamite!! USA was a co-production with Elite Xtreme Combat (EliteXC) and the only pure MMA event of the Dynamite!! series.
