"Glitter in the Air" is a song recorded by American singer Pink for her fifth studio album Funhouse (2008). It was written by Pink and Billy Mann, with the latter producing it. The song is a pop ballad with a soft piano accompaniment and drum beats. Its lyrics discuss the power of love and taking a leap of faith, while using various metaphors. The song was released as the sixth and final North American single from Funhouse on January 31, 2010, by LaFace Records and Jive Records.

"Glitter in the Air" received mixed reviews from music critics: some named it the best vocal performance of Funhouse, while others criticized it for being a cliché ballad. It debuted and peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking the first time Pink had five singles from one album enter the chart. The song was notably performed as part of Pink's Funhouse Tour (2009), with her wearing a bodysuit and doing acrobatics using aerial tissue. Pink similarly performed it at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards (2010), where the performance received a standing ovation and was universally acclaimed by critics, and during The Truth About Love Tour (2013–2014).
