"Walk" is a song by American rock band Foo Fighters, released as the second single from their seventh studio album Wasting Light. It was written by Dave Grohl and co-produced by Butch Vig.

The song was released on June 6, 2011 to rock radio. No physical CD single was released; it is only a digital downloadable single. The song reached number one on the Billboard Rock Songs chart on July 20, 2011, dethroning the album's previous single "Rope", giving the band their third number one single on the chart - the most on the chart so far. On February 12, 2012, the song won two awards at the 54th Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. They also performed the song live at the Grammys.

According to Dave Grohl, he came up with the verse about "having a trial" after the time he was helping his first daughter Violet Maye on "learning to walk", and eventually she was able to walk on her own. The song was supposed to be on the previous studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, but Dave decided to put the final version as the last track of Wasting Light because it "sort of makes sense to the album's theme of time and second chances" and to "end the record on a positive note".

The music video appeared on YouTube on June 2, 2011. The video, directed by Sam Jones, was the second video released from Wasted Light, and is a parody of Joel Schumacher's 1993 movie Falling Down.

In 2011, the video won Best Rock Video at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
