"Don't Pay the Ferryman" is a song by the British-Irish singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh. It was released in September 1982 as the lead single from his album The Getaway.

AllMusic critic Sharon Mawer stated the song has become "a standard art rock classic" and one of de Burgh's most frequently played songs on radio, despite not reaching the Top 40 on its original UK release.
