"Under Pressure" er en sang skrevet af David Bowie i samarbejde med det britiske rockband Queen som udgav den første version med Bowie og Freddie Mercury som sangerne. Den blev udgivet på Queens album Hot Space fra 1982. Sangen nåede nummer 1 på UK Singles Chart, og blev således den anden af gruppens nummer 1-hits i hjemlandet (efter "Bohemian Rhapsody" som toppede hitlisten i ni uger i 1975). Sangen toppede kun som nummer 29 i USA på Billboard Hot 100, og kom ind igen som nummer 45 efter Bowies død i januar 2016. Den blev listet som nummer 32 på VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.[1]
Sangen blev spillet live til alle Queens koncerter fra 1981 indtil gruppen stoppede mede at turnerede i 1986.[2][3][4] Den blev indspillet på de to livealbums Queen Rock Montreal og Live at Wembley '86.[5][6] Sangen var også inkluderet på nogle udgaver af Queens første Greatest Hits, som bl.a. den oprindelige Elektra-udgivelse i 1981 i USA. Den er også med på Greatest Hits II, Classic Queen og Absolute Greatest[7] samt på flere af Bowies opsamlingsalbums som Best of Bowie (2002),[8] The Platinum Collection (2005), Nothing Has Changed (2014) og Legacy (2016).
