"King Midas in Reverse" is a song by English pop group the Hollies, written by Graham Nash but credited to Allan Clarke, Nash and Tony Hicks.

It was released as a single in September 1967 in anticipation of the band's album Butterfly.

The track was a departure in style and influenced by Graham Nash's visits to America.

Cash Box said that it's "a crashing folk-drenched rock side with heavy push in the rhythm section and some fine group vocal work" that also has "stunning production.

"[4] Record World called it a "compelling rock ballad about a destructive young chap.."[5] The song features in The Limey, when Peter Fonda's character, an ageing record producer, is introduced.
