"Courage" is a song by The Tragically Hip, released as the third single from their 1992 album Fully Completely. The song's bracketed title references the late author Hugh MacLennan,[1] particularly his 1959 novel The Watch That Ends the Night which is paraphrased in the song's lyrics.[2] The song was very successful, reaching #10 on Canada's RPM Singles Chart,[3] and also charting well in the United States.

In 1997, the song was covered by Sarah Polley for use in the film The Sweet Hereafter.[4][5] The cover version was also used in the television series Charmed.
