"I Bruise Easily" is a song by British recording artist Natasha Bedingfield. The pop ballad was written by Andrew Frampton, Wayne Wilkins, and Paul Herman along with Bedingfield for her debut album, Unwritten (2004). Production on the track was handled by Frampton and Wilkins. In the song, Bedingfield describes how relationships affect people, even when they have come to an end.

The track was released as the album's fourth single in 2005 to positive reviews from music critics. While "I Bruise Easily" failed to match the success of its predecessor "Unwritten", it reached the top 20 in Ireland and the United Kingdom. In 2008, the song was used by electronic artist Chicane for the song "Bruised Water", a mashup between "I Bruise Easily" and Chicane's 1999 hit "Saltwater". The song was included on Chicane's The Best of Chicane: 1996–2008 and is credited as Chicane vs. Natasha Bedingfield.
