"Free Fallin'" is the opening track from American musician Tom Petty's debut solo album, Full Moon Fever (1989).

The duo wrote and recorded the single in two days, making it the first song completed for Full Moon Fever.

Petty and The Heartbreakers performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1989, with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, and at the February 2008 Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show.

Petty did not write the song about a specific person, but instead about what he saw during his frequent drives along Ventura Boulevard.
