"Israel" is a song recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1980. The track was written by the Banshees and co-produced with Nigel Gray. "Israel" returned the band to a more rock-oriented sound.

The song was released as a stand-alone single in between the Kaleidoscope and Juju albums and peaked at number forty-one in the UK singles chart. "Israel" did not appear on a Siouxsie & the Banshees album until the release of the Once Upon a Time: The Singles compilation.
