"Better Man" (sometimes written as "Betterman") is a song that was written by Eddie Vedder when he was in high school, which he first performed with a San Diego based group called Bad Radio and later recorded with Pearl Jam. Considered a "blatantly great pop song" by producer Brendan O'Brien, Pearl Jam was reluctant to record it and had initially rejected it from Vs. due to its accessibility. "Better Man" appeared on the 1994 Pearl Jam album Vitalogy. The song was also included on Pearl Jam's greatest hits album, Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003.

Never released as a single (a band practice which encouraged fans to buy albums instead), it nonetheless became one of Pearl Jam's most-played songs on the radio in the U.S. The song reached the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, the second spot on their Modern Rock Tracks chart, and number 13 on their Top 40 Mainstream chart. The song spent a total of eight weeks at number 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart. At the 13th annual Pop Music Awards of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, "Better Man" was cited as one of the most-performed ASCAP songs of 1995.

In Pearl Jam concerts, the slow opening verses and choruses of "Better Man" are frequently sung as much by the audience as by Vedder. The song is often performed live as a medley with The English Beat's "Save It For Later". At the last Vote for Change concert in 2004, Vedder made a guest appearance with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and sang "Better Man" upon Springsteen's request; sizeable numbers of the audience sang along with it.

The song is also a part of the so-called "Man" trio ("Better Man", "Nothingman", "Leatherman") played occasionally at concerts. There is no connection between the three songs beyond the word "man" being in each of their titles.

Live performances of "Better Man" can be found on the live album Live on Two Legs, international versions of the "Nothing As It Seems" single, and on the live album Live at the Gorge 05/06. Performances of the song are also included on the DVDs Touring Band 2000, Live at the Showbox, Live at the Garden, and Immagine In Cornice.

"Better Man" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, it became the last single from his album Sing When You're Winning in late 2001. It was only released in Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.

"A Better Man" is a song made famous by country music neo-traditionalist Clint Black. Originally released in 1989, the song - from Black's debut album, Killin' Time - was his first nationally released single.

When "A Better Man" went to No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart on June 10, Black became the first artist since Freddy Fender to ascend to the top of the country chart with his first charted single. In addition, "A Better Man" was the No. 1 song of 1989 on the Hot Country Singles chart.

The song is a reflection on a relationship co-writer Black had recently ended with a girlfriend of seven years. He shared his dying romance story with friend Hayden Nicholas, who - after sharing an idea for the melody - came up with the hook line ("I'm leaving here a better man/For knowing you this way.").

A video was issued for the song, and has aired on The Nashville Network, CMT, and Great American Country.

The success of "A Better Man," along with the follow up "Killin' Time," were instrumental in Black winning the Country Music Association's Horizon Award in 1989.

"A Better Man" was a single by the rock band Thunder and was released in 1993.
