"But for the Grace of God" is a song co-written and recorded by Australian country music singer Keith Urban. Urban wrote the song along with Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's. It was released in November 2000 as the third single from his self-titled American debut album. It became his first No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart on February 24, 2001, a position that it maintained for one week.

The song ended a two-and-a-half-year streak in which no artist on the Capitol Records label achieved a Number One single on the country charts.

Both radio edit and album-length versions have been issued. The radio edit excises a musical bridge after the second chorus and has a slightly different ending than the album cut.

The music video for this song has aired on CMT and GAC.
