"Tangled Up in Blue" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and the opening track of his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks (1975). It was released as the album’s sole single, reaching No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. Written by Dylan and produced by David Zimmerman, Dylan's brother, the song concerns relationships from different narrative perspectives. Dylan has altered the lyrics in subsequent performances, changing the point of view and details in the song.

The track initially was recorded in September 1974, but later re-recorded on 30 December that year at Sound 80 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The latter version was released on Blood on the Tracks on 20 January 1975. The song received widespread acclaim from music critics, with particular praise for the lyrics. Rolling Stone ranked it No. 68 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. A number of alternate versions have been released, including multiple studio out-takes on The Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks (2014). Dylan has performed the song live over 1,600 times.
