"Sub-culture" is the name of a single released in November 1985 by New Order.

It was the second and final single that also appeared on the group's album release of the same year, Low-Life. The mix (by John Robie) is different from the one that appears on the album. "Sub-culture" has only a regular black sleeve, as graphic designer Peter Saville reportedly deemed the mix of the song unworthy of his talents. The b-side is a remix titled "Dub-Vulture". "Sub-culture" also appears on the group's 1987 compilation, Substance.

The 12" & 7" single mixes provide for a significant departure from the album version, with prominent usage of female backing singers.
