"Swamp Thing" is a song by British electronic music group the Grid, released as a single on 23 May 1994 by Deconstruction and RCA Records. It was also included on the group's third album, Evolver (1994). The song peaked at number three on the UK, Australian, and Danish singles charts and reached the top five in an additional seven countries, including Finland and Norway, where it reached number two. Its computer generated music video, consisting of dancing robots and a crawling baby, received solid airplay on music television channels.

"Swamp Thing" was later sampled in "Banjo Thing" by Infernal and "Swamp Thing" by Pegboard Nerds. British magazine NME ranked "Swamp Thing" number 41 in their list of the 50 Best Songs of 1994 and it was nominated in the category for Tune of the Year at the International Dance Awards 1995.
