"Home and Dry" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 18 March 2002 as the first UK single and the second US single from their eighth studio album, Release (2002). It reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart and number 44 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart.

One of the B-sides, "Sexy Northener", was also released as a promotional single in the United States and peaked at number 15 on the US dance chart, but never received a commercial release.

The song is known to Pet Shop Boys fans for its unusual video, directed by Wolfgang Tillmans, primarily consisting of footage of mice running across tracks and eating discarded food at Tottenham Court Road Underground station. There are occasional shots of the duo performing the song in an empty venue.

The track was remixed the same year by German trance duo Blank & Jones.
