"Take a Picture" is a 2000 single by American rock band Filter from their second studio album, Title of Record. It features cello contributions from Eric Remschneider, who wrote and performed the strings for the Pumpkins songs "Disarm" and "Soma". It is also rumored to have backing vocals by former Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky, but this has not been confirmed.

The song became a hit at the start of 2000 following its January 18 retail release, peaking at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number three in Canada. It also became a top-ten hit in New Zealand, peaking at number eight on the RIANZ Singles Chart.
