"Jumper" is a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on their 1997 self titled album, written by vocalist Stephan Jenkins. Released as a single, the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the commentary found in the pages of A Collection (album) Jenkins says that this song adresses the feeling you get when you see somebody's spirit wounded, and how it is sometimes difficult to cope with this. The song may also be about a friend of Jenkins' who committed suicide, and how he wishes he could have done more to save his friend.
