"Murder" is the name of a single by British group New Order.

Released on the Factory Benelux imprint in 1984, it is an instrumental piece, but also contains samples from films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Caligula. It was originally recorded in Winter 1982 during the sessions for the band's second album Power, Corruption and Lies. The b-side is an instrumental version of the previous single by the group, "Thieves Like Us". The sleeve art is a "night-time" version of the sleeve art from the previous single. Both tracks are available on 1987's compilation, Substance.

It was only released in Belgium, but was available in the UK on import and made #92. As such, it is the band's only release to miss the UK Top 75.
