"Don't Let Me Get Me" is a song by American singer Pink. It was released as the second single from her second studio album Missundaztood (2001) in February 2002. The song was featured on the trailer for the 2003 comedy Just Married.

"Don't Let Me Get Me" was generally a success, reaching top ten positions in 14 countries, and became her fifth single to peak inside the top ten US Billboard Hot 100 chart, stalling successfully at number eight and became her first number one on the US Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song received positive reviews, praising the tone of the song.

A music video promoting the single was filmed and released in January 2002, which exposes shots of Pink in back in secondary school attending the sideline of a volleyball game, at Arista Records office lounging with an actor posing as L.A. Reid and shown posing irritated for a magazine cover, which shifts to her waiting backstage and her performing to a large crowd at her former high school, in which she morphs into different people.

"Don't Let Me Get Me" reached number one in New Zealand, number six in the UK, number eight in the U.S. and number twenty in Canada.

The song earned positive reports from music critics, but most gave sensitively mixed reviews upon her self-hating lyrical content. Robert Christgau in his consumer guide for MSN wrote that "Despite Pink's audacious claim that she's not as pretty as 'damn Britney Spears,' celebrity anxiety takes a backseat to a credible personal pain rooted in credible family travails, a pain held at bay by expression." Jim Farber of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "In Don't Let Me Get Me, she turns self-loathing into a perverse kind of anthem."
