"Procession" was the second single by British group New Order, released in September 1981 on 7" vinyl record. The single's Factory Records catalogue number is FAC 53.

Though all of New Order's songs are credited as group compositions, it is known that the main writer of "Procession" was Stephen Morris.

Notably, the UK release's sleeve came in nine differently coloured versions: black, blue, aqua, yellow, red, brown, orange, green and purple. The B-side was an edited version of "Everything's Gone Green", the full-length version of which was later released as a 12" single on its own.

The song does not appear on any of New Order's studio albums; it does, however, appear on the 1987 compilation Substance.
