"Raise Your Glass" is a song by American singer Pink, released as the lead single of her first compilation album, Greatest Hits... So Far!!! The song celebrates the first decade since Pink's debut in 2000 and is dedicated to her fans who have been supporting her over the years.

The song was released in October 2010 by LaFace Records, JIVE Records, and RCA Records, to gain both critical and commercial success, being acclaimed by most music critics and described as a party anthem, and reaching the Top 10 in several countries, including the United States, where it became her third number-one single.

The song is written by Pink, Max Martin and Shellback and is produced by the latter two, who are responsible for many of Pink's biggest hits, and who also worked with Pink on her following single, "Fuckin' Perfect." The song is featured in a commercial for the 2011 film Bridesmaids and in the theatrical trailers for What's Your Number? and New Year's Eve.

In 2011, "Raise Your Glass" was ranked at number thirteen on the "Top 40 Year End Chart" based on Mediabase.

"Raise Your Glass" was announced as the lead single from Pink's then-upcoming greatest hits compilation on October 1, 2010. The song follows a strong pop style, in much similar fashion to her previous work with producer Max Martin. Pink describes the song as a "celebration for people who feel left out from the popular crowd." In an interview for MTV, Pink comments on the song: "I don't know if it's going to be huge, but it is new. I did three new songs. It was good timing. I had been on the road for two years and I hadn't written anything and I wanted to write a song about underdogs. Instead of going and becoming a cover girl, I kind of just hit the road and pounded the pavement...and became a touring artist. You don't have to be popular when you're a touring artist, you just have to be good, and this is a thank you for the fans."
