"Snuff" is a song by American heavy metal band Slipknot. A ballad, the song was released on September 28, 2009, as the fifth and final single from their fourth studio album, All Hope Is Gone (2008). It peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, their highest chart placement to date, surpassing "Dead Memories".
Roadrunner Records placed "Snuff" at number six for its greatest music videos of all time. The song was also nominated for Best Single at the Kerrang! Awards 2010, but lost to "Liquid Confidence" by You Me at Six.
It is the final single released from the band with original bassist Paul Gray before his death eight months after its release and drummer Joey Jordison before his departure in 2013 and death in 2021. During recent solo acoustic shows, Corey Taylor has performed an acoustic version of "Snuff" as a tribute to Gray.
