"Dry Your Eyes" is a single by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project the Streets. It was released in the UK on 19 July 2004. The song is the Streets' most successful single, reaching number one in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2004, six days after its release. "Dry Your Eyes" also went straight to number one in Ireland staying there for three weeks in a row.

An early version of the track featured Chris Martin of Coldplay singing the chorus, but he decided against its release, believing his contribution did not work as well as others. The final version was delivered by singer-songwriter Matt Sladen, who was also a member of the band Officers.
