Who Dares Wins (Template:Langx, O tolmón niká; Latin: Qui audet adipiscitur ; Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Portuguese: Quem ousa vence; German: Wer wagt, gewinnt; Dutch: Wie niet waagt, die niet wint; Hebrew: המעז מנצח) is a motto made popular in the English-speaking world by the British Special Air Service.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The Template:Langx is attested from at least the 18th century.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

As the motto of the SAS, it is normally credited to its founder, Sir David Stirling.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Among the SAS themselves, it is sometimes humorously corrupted to "Who cares [who] wins?".<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The expression appears in a medieval Arabic book of fairy tales, translated and published in 2014.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The phrase is the motto of Baron Alvingham of Woodfold in the County Palatine of Lancaster, a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.<ref name="burke">Template:Cite book</ref>
