"Don't Blink" is a song written by Casey Beathard and Chris Wallin and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in September 2007 as the second single from Chesney's 2007 album Poets & Pirates. The song became Chesney's thirteenth number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in late 2007.

The song debuted at #16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of September 8, 2007, setting a new record for the highest debut on that chart since the inception of SoundScan in 1990,[1] beating a record set by Keith Urban's "Once in a Lifetime", which debuted at #17 in 2006. Chesney's record was broken one week later by Garth Brooks' "More Than a Memory", which debuted at number one on the country charts, the first song to do so in the chart's history.[2]

The song also matches the fastest rising single of his career set in August 2007 with "Never Wanted Nothing More" taking eight weeks to reach number one.

On the Billboard Hot 100, "Don't Blink" debuted at number 79 on the chart dated September 22, 2007.[3]
