"Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" is the first track of the second disc of the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde, the seventh album from singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Dylan released the song as a single twice during his career, once in 1974, charting at #66 in the US, and again in 2007, charting at #51 in the UK.

Recorded at Columbia Music Row Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 9, 1966, it featured veteran Nashville studio musicians Wayne Moss, Charlie McCoy, Kenneth A. Buttrey, Hargus "Pig" Robbins, Jerry Kennedy, Joe South, Bill Aikins, and Henry Strzelecki, along with Robbie Robertson. Prevalent on the recording are trumpet, piano, guitar, harmonica, bass guitar, drums and electronic organ.

The song consists of three verses with a bridge after the second verse. It is done in a bluesy style, with a moderate tempo. The lyrics speak of a man who has grown tired of constantly guessing at his girlfriend's feelings and is going to move on with his life rather than continue fighting the unpredictability of his girlfriend. The song presents a feeling of change and movement that was one of the trademarks of the 1960s. This song has a swinging beat and is representative of the album's sound as a whole.

"Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" gained significant visibility when it was frequently the concert opening and encore song on the Bob Dylan and The Band 1974 Tour. One such performance was included later that year as the first track on the resulting live album, Before the Flood. On this version, Dylan shouts out the last word of each verse for emphasis, but he did not always do so during the tour. Released as a single, it reached #66 on the Billboard Hot 100.
