"Missing You Now" is a song recorded by Michael Bolton. It was the fourth single released from his 1991 album, Time, Love & Tenderness. The song features saxophone player Kenny G; it was produced by Walter Afanasieff, who also co-wrote the song with Bolton and noted songwriter Diane Warren.

"Missing You Now" just missed the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, topping out at No. 12 in March 1992. The song did reach No. 1 on the adult contemporary chart for three weeks, Bolton's sixth song to do so and Kenny G's first. In addition, the song reached No. 28 on the UK Singles Chart. It has also topped the Adult Contemporary charts in Canada, topping out in #1 until April 1992.
