Blaze of Glory is a country song by Kenny Rogers from his album Share Your Love. It was released on November 9, 1981 as the third single from the album, after "I Don't Need You" and "Share Your Love With Me." The song was written by Danny Morrison, Johnny Slate, and Larry Keith, and produced by Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers. It runs 2:31 and was released on Liberty Records.

The track reached number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1982 and climbed to number 9 on the country charts. Before Rogers released his version, Razzy Bailey had cut the song as a single; Rogers' team learned of Bailey's version and pressed to release Rogers' first, so Bailey's version remained only as an album cut on Feelin' Right.
