"Here Today" is a song by the American pop band The Beach Boys, taken from their classic 1966 album Pet Sounds. It is the tenth track on the album. The song was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with the lyrics by Tony Asher about love being "here today and gone tomorrow". The lead vocal was sung by Mike Love on the final release but some sessions have been released with Brian singing lead. Some studio chatter could be heard during the instrumental break and the subject matter was revealed to be about cameras in the 40th anniversary CD booklet. It was later released as the B-side to the 1967 single Darlin'. Recently the song was re-recorded by Brian Wilson and his band in his 2002 live album Pet Sounds Live.
A cover version was released by the British group Orange Bicycle.
