"Trust in Me" is a song written by Ned Wever, Milton Ager, and Jean Schwartz.

It was first popularized by Mildred Bailey in 1937, charting at #4.

It was subsequently revived by Eddie Fisher. His recording was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-4444. It reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on February 1, 1951, its only week on the chart, at #29. The flip side was Fisher's much bigger hit, "Tell Me Why".

Another version was recorded in 1951 by Louis Jordan on Decca Records (catalog number 27784)

Yet another revival was made by Etta James in 1961. The Etta James recording peaked on the charts at #30.

It has also been recorded by Dinah Washington, by Guy Lombardo's orchestra, and by Harry Nilsson.
