"Slipping Away" is a Top 40 pop song performed by Welsh singer/guitarist Dave Edmunds. The song was written and produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra fame, and was included on Edmunds' 1983 album Information. "Slipping Away" was released as a single and became Edmunds' second and final Top 40 single in the US, following 1970's "I Hear You Knocking". A promotional video for the song received considerable airplay on the fledgling MTV network.

"Slipping Away" reached number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 7 on the Mainstream Rock Chart, and number 60 on the UK Singles Chart. The song has since appeared on several 1980s music compilations.
