Midlife Crisis is a song by the alternative metal band Faith No More, from their fourth studio album Angel Dust. According to singer Mike Patton "The song is based on a lot of observation and a lot of speculation. But in sort of a pointed way its kind of about Madonna... I think it was a particular time where I was being bombarded with her image on TV and in magazines and her whole schtick kind of speaks to me in that way... like she's going through some sort of problem. It seems she's getting a bit desperate."

Patton has also denied that the song is about having a midlife crisis, as he didn't know what one would feel like, but says "it's more about creating false emotion, being emotional, dwelling on your emotions and in a sense inventing them."

"Midlife Crisis" is featured on the soundtracks for Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and .
