"Schism" is a song by American rock band Tool. It was the first single and music video from their third full-length album, Lateralus.

The DVD contains the music video, audio commentary by David Yow, and a remix by Lustmord. The song is memorable by fans for its use of uncommon time signatures and the frequency of its meter changes.
