Money is een nummer van de Britse progressieve-rockband Pink Floyd en het zesde nummer van hun album The Dark Side of the Moon uit 1973. Het nummer, geschreven door Roger Waters, opent de tweede kant van de originele lp en is het enige nummer van het album dat de top 20 behaalde van de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100. Het staat bekend om zijn onconventionele 7/4-maat, herkenbare baslijn en de tape loop van geldgerelateerde geluiden die het nummer opent, bijvoorbeeld rinkelende munten en een kasregister. Het thema van het nummer is kapitalisme en hoe geld ons dagelijks leven beheerst.

"Money" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd from their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. Written by Roger Waters, it opened side two of the original album. Released as a single, it became the band's first hit in the United States, reaching number 10 in Cash Box magazine and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Distinctive elements of the song include its unusual 74 time signature, and the tape loop of money-related sound effects (such as a ringing cash register and a jingle of coins). These effects are timed right on the beats, and act as a count-in at the beginning to set the tempo and are heard periodically throughout the song.

The song was regularly performed by Pink Floyd and played on most tours since 1972, and has since been performed by David Gilmour and Waters on their respective solo tours. Gilmour re-recorded the song in 1981, while Waters released a re-recording of the song in 2023.
