"Both Ends Burning" is a single by English rock band Roxy Music taken from their 1975 album Siren. The version released as a single edited the intro and the ending compared to the album version. The B-side of the single was a live version of their classic song "For Your Pleasure", recorded live at the Empire Pool Wembley in October 1975, at one of the concerts from which the Viva! album was taken. This version is on The Complete Studio Recordings 1972-1982.

Oddly, this single was not included on 1977's Greatest Hits.
