"Pop Is Dead" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as a non-album single on 10 May 1993, several months after their debut album, Pablo Honey. It features a chromatic guitar riff and lyrics criticising the music industry. The music video features the singer, Thom Yorke, in a coffin.

"Pop Is Dead" reached number 42 on the UK singles chart and received mixed reviews. Years later, members of Radiohead said they regretted releasing it. It is not available on streaming platforms.
