"Careful with That Axe, Eugene" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It was recorded on November 4, 1968 and release on December 6 that year as the B-side to "Point Me at the Sky," the last single Pink Floyd would release in the UK until their 1979 hit "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)". Although the single was unsuccessful, "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" would become a concert favorite and an extended live version would appear on their 1969 album Ummagumma. The music would be recycled as part of the soundtrack for the 1970 film Zabriskie Point, under the title "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up".
