"If" is a song by Pink Floyd on their 1970 album Atom Heart Mother. This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.

Written and sung by Roger Waters, like "Grantchester Meadows" before it, "If" carries on a pastoral and folky approach, but instead deals with introspection. The song is in the key of E Major.

The song was performed live at a John Peel session on 16 July 1970, at BBC's Paris Theatre, London. During that performance, Richard Wright plays both organ and bass. Waters performed it on several occasions, during the 1984/85 'Pros and Cons' tour, and in support of Radio K.A.O.S. in 1987. For these performances, "If" was expanded with additional lyrics and chord sequences.
