"Trust" is the first song on Megadeth's seventh studio album Cryptic Writings. It was released on May 8, 1997 in both English and Spanish language versions. The song had significant airplay and MTV rotation and reached #5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making it Megadeth's most successful single to date followed by "Breadline" and "Crush 'Em" from their follow-up album Risk, both of which reached #6 in the same charts. It was later included on both compilation albums, Capitol Punishment and Back to the Start, and the box set Warchest.

The song tells the story of relationships that have failed due to mutual dishonesty.

The song was nominated for a Grammy award in January 1998 for best heavy metal performance.

A "Spanish" version of the song was used as a single B-Side and on the reissue of Cryptic Writings, however only the chorus is in Spanish. The song is otherwise identical to its album counterpart in verse.

An instrumental version was released for Extreme Championship Wrestling performer Jerry Lynn and was later issued on ECW Extreme Music compilation.

The drum intro of the song is currently played right before kickoffs during each home game played by the Arizona State Sun Devils football team.
