"Teardrops on My Guitar" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who wrote it with Liz Rose. In the US, Big Machine Records released the track to country radio on February 20 and pop radio on November 9, 2007, making it the second single from Swift's debut studio album, Taylor Swift (2006). An international mix of "Teardrops on My Guitar", included on the non-US edition of Swift's second studio album, Fearless, was released as a single in Europe in May 2009.

Swift was inspired to write "Teardrops on My Guitar" by an unrequited love for a high-school classmate. Produced by Nathan Chapman, the track is a gentle acoustic guitar-driven ballad that incorporates mandolin and fiddle. Despite its country radio release, music critics disputed the genre classification and categorized it as pop or soft rock. Reviews of "Teardrops on My Guitar" complimented Swift's vocals and songwriting for earnestly portraying teenage heartbreak.

In the US, the single peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, was Swift's first entry on the Pop Songs chart, and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It also charted and received certifications in Canada and the UK. Trey Fanjoy directed the music video, which features Swift as a girl who is heartbroken when she discovers that her love interest is in a relationship. She performed the song on the Fearless Tour (2009–2010).
