Back to black is een nummer van de Britse soulzangeres Amy Winehouse. Het nummer is afkomstig van haar gelijknamige tweede studioalbum, Back to Black uit 2007. In Nederland kwam de single na haar overlijden postuum opnieuw uit eind juli 2011 en werd een terugkerende succesplaat in de jaarlijkse NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 van de Nederlandse publieke radiozender NPO Radio 2. In andere landen was de plaat reeds een hit in 2007/2008.

"Back to Black" is a song by the English singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse, released on 26 April 2007 by Island Records as the third single from her second and final studio album of the same name (2006). The song was written by Winehouse and Mark Ronson, and produced by the latter. "Back to Black" was inspired by Winehouse's relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, who had left her for an ex-girlfriend.

"Back to Black" received widespread acclaim from music critics, who generally praised Winehouse's lyrics and vocal performance, and its throwback sound to girl groups from the 1960s. It was included on several compiled year and decade-end lists of the best in music and was further considered to be one of Winehouse's signature songs. The single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom and is Winehouse's third best-selling single in that country. Many artists recorded covers of the song; most notably, Beyoncé and André 3000 covered it for the soundtrack of the 2013 film adaptation of the novel The Great Gatsby (1925).

A documentary film based on the life and death of Winehouse, Amy (2015), features footage of Winehouse recording the song with Mark Ronson in March 2006. An a cappella version of the song was featured on the film's soundtrack.
