Konstantine is a song by the band Something Corporate. It focuses heavily on the piano, although several other instruments, including a bass guitar, an organ and the triangle, are used as well. The song was first released in a live version as a hidden track on Ready...Break (2000). A studio recording was included on Welcome to the Family (2001), as well as on the Japanese album Songs for Silent Movies (2003).

Something Corporate's DVD, Live at the Ventura Theater, contains a performance of the song.
