"'''4th Time Around'''" (also listed as "'''Fourth Time Around'''"){{sfn|Trager|2004|p=195}} is a song by the American singer-songwriter [[Bob Dylan]], which was released as the 12th track on his seventh studio album ''[[Blonde on Blonde]]'' on June 20, 1966. The song was written by Dylan and produced by [[Bob Johnston]]. Commentators often interpret it as a parody of [[the Beatles]]' 1965 song "[[Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)]]". [[John Lennon]]{{efn|name="NW"}} composed "Norwegian Wood" after being influenced by the introspective lyrics of Dylan. Lennon later reflected on his feelings of paranoia when Dylan first played him "4th Time Around".

Twenty takes of "4th Time Around", most of them incomplete, were recorded at Columbia Studio A, Nashville, on February 14, 1966. The last of these was used for the album. "4th Time Around" has received critical acclaim, despite being identified as one of the lesser tracks on ''Blonde on Blonde''.
