"Like a Motorway" is a 1994 song by the British pop group Saint Etienne. The song combines the melody from the nineteenth century folk song Silver Dagger with a driving techno beat influenced by Kraftwerk. The title presumably refers to the similarities with Kraftwerk's track "Autobahn".

"Like a Motorway" appears on the album "Tiger Bay". It was released as a single in May 1994, and reached #47 on the UK Singles Chart.

The cover art features an abandoned car overgrown with foliage. The video consists of a long, slow zoom in Sarah Cracknell as she sings against a black background, intercut with occasional rapid shots of Pete Wiggs and Bob Stanley driving a car.
