"Dom andra" is a song by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. It was released as the first single from their fifth album Vapen & Ammunition on 18 March 2002. The song debuted at number one on the Swedish Singles Chart, becoming the band's first number-one hit. It stayed at the position for four weeks and remained on the chart for twenty-one weeks overall.
The song's CD single includes the B-side "Vintervila" that is a remake of a song composed before Kent had formed and the band used the name Havsänglar (Sea-Angels). On the sleeve is a photo of one of the Eskilstuna Zoo's white tigers (taken by Jonas Linell).
