"Hole In My Shoe" is a song by Traffic which as a single release reached #2 in the UK charts in 1967. Composed by their then guitarist Dave Mason, it is one of the defining tracks of acid rock, although it has been suggested that Steve Winwood disliked the song, feeling that it did not represent the band's real musical or lyrical style.

The brief monologue in the middle was spoken by a girl named Francine Heimann.

In the sitcom "The Young Ones", Neil, one of the principal characters, continually sang a recognisable line from "Hole In My Shoe". Eventually, in July 1984, Nigel Planer who played the role released a cover version of the song, which reached the same #2 peak as the original. He also performed the song as Neil on the BBC show Top of the Pops, where he asked Paul Weller to "listen to the lyrics!".
