Space Oddity é uma música de David Bowie, que retrata de maneira fictícia a história de Major Tom, um astronauta que se desliga da comunicação com a Terra e se perde no espaço. Lançada em 1969, a música coincidiu com o interesse público pela corrida espacial e o pouso na lua, ganhando grande atenção e se tornando um dos maiores sucessos de Bowie.
