"Now I Run" is a song by Australian singer Shannon Noll. It was released in 2006, and is the third single from Noll's second album, Lift.

The song is written in honour of Shannon's father who was killed in a farming accident shortly before his son appeared on Australian Idol. Their close relationship is clearly evident, with the lyrics of the chorus including the words: "Everything that I am, comes from a better man." It was praised by music critics, with influential Australian music reviewer Cameron Adams naming "Now I Run" as one of his top singles of 2006, describing it as "so soaked in raw emotion you can imagine the goose bumps on his arms as he's singing".

The single peaked at number 6. Noll performed the song during a special episode of Channel Nine's The Footy Show in Beaconsfield, Tasmania, to celebrate the rescue of trapped miners Todd Russell and Brant Webb. The song was voted in at number 80 on the Video Hits Australia Top 100 Video Clips chart.
