"Soldier On" is a song by the Dutch rock band Di-rect. It was released on 21 February 2020 as the lead single to the band's ninth studio album Wild Hearts.

It was the band's comeback hit, reaching No. 3 on the Dutch Top 40 and becoming their first top-ten single in 13 years. It was also the band's first top-10 hit since lead vocalist Marcel Veenendaal joined the band. While it was written prior, the song became closely associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.

It won the 2021 Edison Award for Best Song.
