Armageddon (2008) was a professional-wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) promotion, which took place on December 14, 2008 at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. It featured professional wrestlers and other talent from all IWE's three brands: Raw, SmackDown and XCW.

When the 2008 event was released on DVD it reached a peak position of second on Billboard's DVD Sales Chart.
