"Out of Reach" is a song by English singer Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle and frequent collaborator Jonathan Shorten for the soundtrack of Sharon Maguire's 2001 romantic comedy film Bridget Jones's Diary. The London Session Orchestra provides the string section on the track.

Released as the soundtrack's lead single on 9 April 2001, "Out of Reach" peaked at number one in Portugal, number two in New Zealand, and number four on the UK Singles Chart. As of March 2021, the song had sold 645,000 copies in the UK as stated by the Official Charts Company, and it became the 10th-most-successful single of 2001 in New Zealand. It was later included in the 2001 reissue of her Rise album as well as her greatest hits compilation Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, released the same year.
