"Walking in the Sun" is a song by Scottish Indie rock band Travis. It was released in October 2004 as the only single from their compilation album, Singles. The single peaked at #20 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2004 in British music).

It is a breezy, melodic tune, reminiscent of the work in their first four albums. The song's promotional video features Healy walking down a street in Ealing with hidden booby traps and obstacles. He cheats death numerous times before meeting the Grim Reaper.
