"Unsent" is a song by Alanis Morissette that was featured on her 1998 album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. It was released as the album's third single on July 13, 1999 and was not as successful as earlier singles released by Morissette. The video for the song was directed by Morissette.

Without a chorus or hook, "Unsent" was an unconventional song. The verses consisted of five letters addressed to Morissette's former boyfriends: "Matthew", "Jonathan", "Terrance", "Marcus", and "Lou". It was one of the few Junkie tracks to feature her harmonica-playing. The demo version of "Unsent" contained alternate boyfriend names: "Matthew", "Eric", "Terry", "Marc", "Terrance", "Christian", and "Taylor".
