The Motor City Machine Guns are a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The team name is a play on "Motor City", a nickname for the two's hometown of Detroit. They are the first and only team to have won championships in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), Ring of Honor (ROH), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Originally forming a team in Pro Wrestling Zero1 in 2006, Shelley and Sabin started teaming up more frequently later that year in TNA until Shelley left the company in 2012. During this first run, they won the TNA World Tag Team Championship once as well as New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW)'s IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The two reformed Motor City Machine Guns in 2016 in Ring of Honor, where they won the ROH World Tag Team Championship, until Shelley retired from wrestling in 2018, disbanding the team for a second time.

In 2020, the Motor City Machine Guns made their return to pro wrestling, working with several promotions including TNA, AEW, and NJPW (where they won the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship). In 2024, they signed with WWE, where they quickly won the WWE Tag Team Championship. With this win, they became the first tag team to win championships in WWE, TNA, ROH, and NJPW. They were both released by WWE in April 2026 and returned to AEW that July.

The team also was named as the Tag Team of the Year in 2010 by both Pro Wrestling Illustrated and The Baltimore Sun.
