In Dulce Decorum was a single released by The Damned in 1987.

The song was originally recorded for the Anything album, but was issued as a single to promote the |MCA retrospective Light At The End Of The Tunnel. The track was inspired by Wilfred Owen's poem Dulce et Decorum Est, and began with an excerpt from a speech by Winston Churchill. The single, The Damned's last to break into the UK charts, made #72. It was also included in the Miami Vice II original soundtrack; it is featured in the third season episode "Walk Alone".

MCA also issued the single in Germany.
