"Into Dust" is a song by alternative rock duo Mazzy Star that appears as the ninth track on their second album So Tonight That I Might See. The song's arrangement is sparse and features only acoustic guitar and violin as accompaniment to the vocals.

Although never released as an official single, the song has charted on two separate occasions on the UK Singles Chart. Fifteen years after the release of the album, the song charted at #71 in August 2009[1] following its appearance on a commercial for Virgin Media.[2] Two years later, the song spent a further four weeks on the chart, reaching a new peak of #47, when it was used on the "Dust to Dust" trailer for Gears of War 3.[1] In September 2011, "Into Dust" made its début appearance on the Irish Singles Chart, where it reached a peak of #40.[3]
