"Darkness" is a song by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It first appeared as the first song from his 2002 album, Up. Gabriel has since performed the song on several of his concert tours. A live version was included on the Growing Up Live concert film in 2003.

In 2004, a remixed version of the song labeled as the "Engelspost Remix" was released as a single in Switzerland. It was previously used as the B-side to "Burn You Up, Burn You Down". An instrumental version of "Darkness", titled "Darker Star", was included on the second season of Canadian sci-fi show Starhunter. In 2011, Gabriel re-recorded the song with an orchestra on his New Blood album.
