"This One Eats Souls" is a single by The Blackeyed Susans, released in July 1994, from their 1993 album, All Souls Alive. The last four tracks are taken from the cassette album Hard Liquor, Soft Music by The Blackeyed Susans Trio.

Allmusic's Ned Raggett describes the song as being "an absolutely bereft-of-hope lyric given beautiful, haunting music."

The song was included on the band's 2009 compilation album Reveal Yourself 1989-2009 and was re-recorded by Rob Snarski on his 2014 solo album, Wounded Bird.
