"Breathe (Reprise)" is a song on Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon. Following the song "Time", to which it serves as a coda, it reprises the earlier song "Breathe", with different lyrics. During recording, it was called "Home Again".

When the song ends, the reverberations of the final note resound for about a second before the piano of "The Great Gig in the Sky".

When Pink Floyd reunited for the Live 8 concert, they combined "Breathe", and "Breathe (Reprise)", something they had never done before, although Sea of Green had previously covered the song in this manner on their 2001 album Time to Fly.

The song features on David Gilmour's 2007 DVD, Remember That Night, and in his 2008 CD Live in Gdańsk. These are the only instances of the song being given a separate track number to "Time" on an official release. The Live in Gdańsk version is titled "Breathe (In the Air) (Reprise)" rather than just "Breathe (Reprise)".

It was included on Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd, however it is the only song that does not appear on the track listing nor the lyric sheet.
