"Dark Entries" is a second single released by British gothic rock band Bauhaus. It showcases the guitar playing of Daniel Ash and tight rhythm section of David J and Kevin Haskins. The lyrics deal with the song hero's decadent vision of modern world, with a main focus on prostitution, in a somewhat decrepit atmosphere.

The single was released three times: as AXIS3 (original 4AD imprint), AD3 on 4AD records and BEG37 on Beggars Banquet. The sleeve art was very slightly different on the Beggars Banquet release, and due to the change of names of 4AD, some editions on public sale will have contained one imprint of the disk with a different imprint of the cover. This makes this a very collectable item.
