"Face Down" is a song by American rock band the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus from their debut album, Don't You Fake It (2006). Released as the band's debut single, the song peaked at number 24 in the United States and number four in New Zealand. It tied 30 Seconds to Mars' "The Kill" as the longest-running song on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart without reaching number one, at 52 weeks. "Face Down" remains the band's most successful single. Four versions were released, including an acoustic version.

It has since been certified quadruple platinum in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and double platinum in New Zealand by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ). Even though the song never charted in the United Kingdom, it has since been certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
