"Maps" is a song by the American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was released on September 22, 2003, by Polydor in the United Kingdom. It was written and composed by the band and features on their debut album, Fever to Tell. The song is an art-punk ballad about the relationship between Karen O, frontwoman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and her then-boyfriend Angus Andrew, frontman of Liars. The title is alleged to stand for "My Angus Please Stay", which the band has not confirmed.

The song was initially released in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2003, reaching number 26 on the UK singles chart. It was then released in the United States on February 17, 2004, by Interscope, and became their first single to appear on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 87, and it also reached number nine on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Praised by music critics for its sound and Karen O's emotive vocals, "Maps" greatly boosted the sales of Fever to Tell, and its accompanying music video earned extensive play on MTV and four nominations at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards.

"Maps" is considered to be the band's signature song, and is often ranked among the greatest songs of the 2000s and of all time. It has been widely covered, remixed, and sampled by artists. The song experienced renewed recognition on TikTok in 2024.
