"One Little Victory" is the opening track to Rush's 2002 album Vapor Trails, with music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson and lyrics by Neil Peart.

The track opens with a double-bass driven drum beat which continues throughout most of the song, alternating between itself and a simpler, albeit similar, beat during the verses and chorus. Guitar and bass soon join in, and an interlude involving clean tone arpeggios bridges the intro to the first verse. The song mostly follows a standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus pattern with a minimalistic guitar solo in the middle.

As with the rest of the album, the track has some issues with sound distortion. Some fans have voiced their disappointment with the quality, and hope for a remastering of Vapor Trails. The re-master was due to be released at around the same time as Snakes and Arrows, yet this does not seem to have happened.
