"Skylines and Turnstiles" is a song by the American band My Chemical Romance, released as the seventh track from their debut studio album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002). A hardcore punk and pop-punk song whose lyrics focus on the September 11 attacks, Gerard Way initially wrote "Skylines and Turnstiles", his first song, after witnessing the attacks; subsequently, the song continued to be fleshed out as Way formed My Chemical Romance. The song was written by band members Frank Iero, Matt Pelissier, Ray Toro, Gerard Way, and Mikey Way, and was produced by Geoff Rickly.

"Skylines and Turnstiles" received mixed retrospective reviews from music critics, with the track being deemed both as a standout and as an unpolished inclusion on the album. Nonetheless, critics have also identified it as one of the best songs in My Chemical Romance's discography, highlighting its role in establishing the band and its sound. "Skylines and Turnstiles" was the first song that the band performed during their debut live show, and was later performed as part of their reunion tour. A demo of "Skylines and Turnstiles" was also released on the band's greatest hits album, May Death Never Stop You (2014).
