Welcome to the Machine

Welcome to the Machine és una cançó del grup britànic de rock progressiu Pink Floyd que apareix a l'àlbum Wish You Were Here de l'any 1975. És una peça coneguda per un bon ús del sintetitzador, de la guitarra i de diferents efectes d'àudio, en un dels quals se sent unes persones discutir, concretament al final. La lletra mostra una visió ombrívola sobre la indústria de la música, la machine del títol.

Gerald Scarfe en va fer un clip d'animació.
