"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is a ballad performed by musician Elton John and the title track on his 1973 album of the same name. The lyrics by Bernie Taupin deal with a toy boy saying farewell to his drug-addled socialite sugar daddy/mama and longing for his country roots. The titular road is a reference to "The Wizard of Oz" (book or film). The music was composed by John.

The song has been widely praised by critics; some consider it a strong contender for John's finest song ever. "Rolling Stone" listed the song at #390 of its 500 greatest songs of all time in 2010. In the US, it was certified gold on 4 January 1974 and platinum on 13 September 1995 and 2x platinum on 2 March 2020 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
