"Pain" is a song by American rock band Jimmy Eat World. It was released in September 2004 as the first single from their 2004 album Futures and became their second number-one hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Although its album is not their most successful and "Pain" is not the highest charting single, the single has received Gold status by the RIAA, making "Pain" Jimmy Eat World's best-selling single. It was featured on the video game Karaoke Revolution Party.

The video, which was directed by Paul Fedor, features a young man who constantly does things which cause him pain (including submerging himself in water for extended periods of time, throwing himself down stairs and draping himself in meat and letting attack dogs maul him), but he doesn't appear to feel any of it. He is followed and constantly attacked by two twin children with baseball bats. At the end the young woman featured in flashes through the rest of the video arrives by his side, and when the twins hit him again, he finally has a reaction to pain. At the end of the video they walk off together. The video also featured footage of the band playing from the inside of a garage. For undisclosed reasons, the twins in the video bear a striking resemblance to Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum from the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.

In 2006, Japanese singer Kyosuke Himuro covered this song on his album.
