"Tempest" is an epic modern folk song about the sinking of the RMS Titanic written and performed by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It appears as the ninth track on his 2012 studio album of the same title. Like much of Dylan's 21st-century output, he produced the song himself using the pseudonym Jack Frost.
"Tempest" is Dylan's third longest song, behind only 2020's "Murder Most Foul" and 1997's "Highlands". It provoked divisive critical reactions upon release, with views ranging from "one of his best songs ever" to "one of his worst songs ever".
