"Here Today and Gone Tomorrow" is a song written by Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, Joe Harris, Marshall "Rock" Jones, Ralph "Pee Wee" Middlebrooks, Dutch Robinson, Clarence "Satch" Satchell, and Gary Webster of the Ohio Players' for their 1968 album Observations in Time.

David Bowie performed this track live on the Diamond Dogs tour in 1974 (as "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow"). A version recorded on this tour was released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc reissue of the live album David Live in 1990. The 2005 rerelease of the album put the song back into the correct position in the track listing.
