"Mein" (German for "Mine" and/or "Me") is the second single from alternative metal band Deftones' fifth album, Saturday Night Wrist, and their eleventh overall single. The song features Serj Tankian of System of a Down on vocals. The single was released on March 13, 2007.

In the week of January 20 the band filmed a music video for "Mein", which was subsequently leaked to YouTube on March 2. The video, directed by Bernard Gourley, depicts many hip hop influences and breakdancers while the band performs on top of a parking structure with the Los Angeles skyline in the background.[1] The video has often been criticized by fans, as Serj Tankian doesn't appear in the video.

The song has garnered little radio play and subsequently failed to chart well on rock charts in America, peaking at #38 on the US Modern Rock chart and #40 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.[2]
