"Put Yourself in My Place" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, taken from her fifth and eponymous studio album (1994). It was released as the record's second single on 14 November 1994, and was distributed by Deconstruction and Mushroom as a CD single, cassette tape and 12-inch vinyl. The track was written, arranged, and produced by Jimmy Harry, and was recorded in New York City with the parent album's engineer Doug Deangelis. A ballad that discusses themes of ending a relationship and moving on, the song's sound incorporates musical elements of trip hop and pop music.

Upon its release, "Put Yourself in My Place" received positive reviews from music critics, with the majority of them complimenting the song's composition and production, whilst highlighting Minogue's vocal performance. Many reviews have cited it as one of her best single releases in her career. Commercially, the single charted moderately in Australia and the United Kingdom, peaking inside the top 20 in both regions. Additionally, it was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for physical shipments of 35,000 units.

An accompanying music video was directed by Kier McFarlane, with its plot being inspired by 1968 film Barbarella; it featured Minogue impersonating the titular character in a spaceship while getting undressed. It won the Best Video award at the 1995 ARIA Music Awards. The song has been performed on Minogue's concert tours including Intimate and Live, On a Night Like This, KylieFever2002, Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour and Kylie Presents: Golden.
