"Weak" is a song by American indie pop band AJR. It was first released on their EP What Everyone's Thinking via the band's label AJR Productions on September 16, 2016, later becoming the third single for their second studio album The Click (2017). The song's lyrics describe acceptance of human weakness and feature an uptempo pop composition. A lyric and music video were released, with the latter featuring the band in a New York City subway. The music video went viral, with the song's popularity on Spotify helping the song become one of the band's highest charting songs.

"Weak" has seven official remixes and several live recordings available on streaming platforms, and has been performed live numerous times. The song charted in 17 countries, reaching the top five in the Netherlands and the top 10 in Belgium and Norway. This success attracted the attention of Barack Obama, Rivers Cuomo, and Steve Aoki, who would all individually collaborate with AJR later.
