"Round and Round" is a song written and performed by the American hypnagogic pop band Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti.[4] It was released as a double A-side on April 26, 2010 and appeared as the fifth track on Before Today, the band's debut album on 4AD.

Guitarist Cole M. Greif-Neill recalled of the track's creation: "[It] was like two songs in one. We wrote new parts and rearranged it in a total ramshackle way into a very-not-cohesive song."[5] The Atlantic's Llewellyn Hinkes-Jones described the song's styles ranging "from King Sunny Ade afropop to Holland-era Beach Boys with elements of musique concrete dropped in here and there."[3]

Pitchfork ranked the track at number one on "The Top 100 Tracks of 2010"[6] and number two on "The 200 Best Tracks of the Decade So Far (2010-2014)".[7]
