'''Global Force Wrestling''' was an American [[professional wrestling]] promotion founded in 2014 by [[Jeff Jarrett]], the co-founder and former President of [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]], and his wife [[Karen Jarrett]]. It was owned and operated via its parent company '''Global Force Entertainment, LLC'''.

The promotion ran several live events and tapings for a potential television show. Jeff Jarrett returned to Impact Wrestling in an executive role in January 2017 and Karen Jarrett announced that GFW had "[[Mergers and acquisitions|merged]]" with Impact on April 20, 2017. Impact Wrestling assumed the GFW name the following month, but it was dropped when Jeff Jarrett departed the company four months later. Jarrett resumed promoting events under the name in December 2017, but has not run any events since October 2018.
