"Time for Heroes" is a song by English rock band The Libertines, and is featured on their debut album, Up the Bracket. It was released 13 January 2003 as the second single from that album, placing at #20 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2003 in British music). Based on singer/guitarist Pete Doherty's experiences at the May-Day Riots of 2001, the song contains a wittily phrased line by Doherty, "There are fewer more distressing sights than that, of an Englishman in a baseball cap".

The song was a fan favourite of The Libertines' live shows, and Pete Doherty's current band Babyshambles tend to play the song at most of their gigs.
