"Think About Me" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in the US in March 1980. The song was composed by Fleetwood Mac keyboardist Christine McVie. "Think About Me" was slightly remixed for single release.

The song peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 24 on Canada's RPM Top 100 Singles chart.[5][6] Even though "Think About Me" was a top 20 hit, it was not included in the 1988 album Greatest Hits[7] although it did appear on the 2002 compilation album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac played the song live for the first time in 35 years during their Australian leg of the "On with the Show tour" in Sydney.[8]

Canadian indie rock band The New Pornographers recorded a cover version of the song for the 2012 compilation album Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac. The version features backward-sounding guitars and Carl Newman on lead vocals.[9]
