"Animal Nitrate" is the third single from Suede, the debut album by Suede, released on September 14, 1992 on Nude Records. It charted at number 7 on the UK singles chart, making it the highest charting single from the album. The video for the title track was directed by Pedro Romhanyi. The band caused some controversy with the video when it was banned for its depiction of two men engaging in a kiss.

The title of the song is a reference to the inhalant drug amyl nitrite.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Animal Nitrate" at number 97 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.

The song was used by Ricky Gervais, who briefly managed Suede, as the opening theme for his stand-up show Animals.
