"Crash" is a song by British indie pop band the Primitives, written by band members Paul Court, Steve Dullaghan, and Tracy Cattell. The song was first recorded for the band's 1988 debut album, Lovely. It was released as a single in February 1988, peaking at number five on the UK Singles Chart, number three on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, and number two on the Swedish Singles Chart. Its UK success saw the group perform the song on the BBC's Top of the Pops.

In 1994, the song was featured on the Dumb & Dumber film soundtrack as "Crash (The '95 Mix)". This remix included additional guitars, percussion, organ, and backing vocals—none of which were performed by any of the Primitives.
