"Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine", or "Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go Mine)",[lower-alpha 1] is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released as the first track on side three of his seventh studio album Blonde on Blonde (1966). The song was written by Dylan and produced by Bob Johnston. Dylan recounted that he had probably written the song after the end of a relationship. The song's narrator criticizes the lies and weakness of a woman, and says that he finds it hard to care. The final verse establishes that the woman has been unfaithful to the narrator by having a relationship with another man, as he suspected all along.

Six takes, two of them complete, were recorded at Columbia Studio B in Nashville, on March 9, 1966, with Dylan accompanied by members of The Nashville A-Team of studio musicians that had been engaged for the album sessions, alongside organist Al Kooper and guitarist Robbie Robertson. The album version received a positive critical reception, with several reviewers praising the lyrics and music. The song was also released as the B-side of "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" in 1967.
Dylan has performed the song in concert over 400 times, from January 1974 to November 2022. It was prominently featured during the Bob Dylan and The Band 1974 Tour and a live version from the subsequent album Before the Flood was issued as a single and reached number 66 on the US chart. Critics noted that this live version was more intense and aggressive than the original cut. "Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" was the first of Dylan's songs to be remixed; that 2007 remix by Mark Ronson reached number 51 on the UK chart, and confounded the expectations of several critics who found that the track was unexpectedly enjoyable. The song has been covered by Hard Meat (1970), by Todd Rundgren (1976), and by Patti LaBelle on her solo debut album (1977).
