"Time Will Crawl" is a track on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as a second single from the album.

The lyric is themed around the pollution and destruction of the planet by industry, and is often praised by critics for its restrained production compared to Bowie’s other work of the era. The video clip, directed by Tim Pope, was made during rehearsals for Bowie’s Glass Spider Tour. Mimicking a fly-on-the-wall documentary, this would preview some of the elaborate routines used on the tour, and also features tour guitarist Peter Frampton – though he does not actually appear on the recording itself.

The single reached #33 on the UK charts.
