"If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It" is a song by Northern Irish–Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol, released on 8 March 2009 as the third single of their fifth album, A Hundred Million Suns (2008). The music was composed by Snow Patrol, with frontman Gary Lightbody writing the lyrics. The song is a departure from Lightbody's frequent attempts at diagnosing his less positive personal issues, which often focus on his romantic breakups, and instead celebrates a newfound love outside human relationships.

The song, though critically lauded upon the album release, was generally not received well as a single. The single was a commercial failure, failing to reach the Top 100 in the United Kingdom, and failing to chart in any other country. The single was later released in the Netherlands but failed to chart as well.
