"Missing You" is a song co-written and recorded by English musician John Waite. It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from his second album, No Brakes (1984). It reached number one on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was nominated for the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance Male.

Waite re-recorded the song with country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss which appeared on her album A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection, and released it to country music radio in 2007. The re-recording peaked at number 34 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Waite's original recording has been featured in the films Selena (1997), Warm Bodies (2013) and 22 Jump Street (2014).
