"We Gotta Get out of This Place" (1965) is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and recorded by The Animals. It has become an iconic song of its type and was immensely popular among United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War.

It formed the basis for the title of academician Lawrence Grossberg's We Gotta Get Out of This Place: Popular Conservatism and Postmodern Culture (1992), detailing the conflict between American conservatism and rock culture. Similarly, it formed the title basis for Gerri Hirshey's 2002 account, We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The True, Tough Story of Women in Rock.
