"Run Like Hell" is a song on the Pink Floyd album The Wall. It is preceded by "In the Flesh" and is followed by "Waiting for the Worms". The song is from the point of view of anti-hero Pink during a hallucination, in which he becomes a Nazi-like fascist and turns a concert audience into a hate mob. He sends the mob out to raid nearby neighborhoods that are full of minorities.

The song was written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour (one of the three songs on The Wall that Gilmour wrote music for), and the lyrics were by Waters too. The song is sung by Waters, but it sounds as if two people are singing because different lines come from different speakers. In the concert version of The Wall, it was sometimes introduced by Waters as "Run Like Fuck!" and Waters and Gilmour sang the different lines (and following Waters's departure from Pink Floyd, was sung by Gilmour and touring bassist Guy Pratt.) The song features the only keyboard solo on The Wall; after the last line of lyrics, a synthesizer apparently takes over Waters's singing. Also in the song are the sound of Pink's mob's maniacal laughter, running footsteps, car tires skidding and a loud scream. "Run Like Hell" is one of the most recognized and popular songs from The Wall.

This song was originally much longer, however it had to be cut because of the time limitations on the original vinyl record format. Although the lyrics "You better run like Hell" appear several times in the liner notes, they are never actually heard in the song.
