"The Perfect Drug" is a song by Nine Inch Nails written for the David Lynch film Lost Highway. It was released in 1997 on the Lost Highway soundtrack and as a single from the score. Remixes of the song were released as an EP called "The Perfect Drug" Versions, on which the original version does not appear.

The track has also been included on international singles "We're in This Together, Part 3" and "Into the Void" without the truncated ending; the only audio release of it in North America was on the Lost Highway soundtrack. A music video for the song, directed by Mark Romanek, was included with the VHS compilation Closure and in The Work of Director Mark Romanek.

Initially regarded by Reznor as his least favorite work, the song was noted among Nine Inch Nails fans for his refusal to perform it at concerts, until it finally made its live debut after more than two decades at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in September 2018.
