"Ships" is a song written and originally performed by British musician Ian Hunter. The song was first released on Hunter's fourth solo album, You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic in March 1979. It was later released as a single in August 1979. Hunter's release of the single never made the charts.

The song is said to be about Hunter's relationship with his father. A repeated line in the song is "We're just ships that pass in the night."
