"Do the Strand" is the first song from English rock band Roxy Music's second album, For Your Pleasure. In contrast to the songs from Roxy Music's eponymous debut album, this song starts suddenly without any instrumental fanfare.

Like the rest of the album, the song was recorded at AIR Studios, Oxford Street, London and was issued on the Island Records label.
