"The Disappointed" (also typeset as "The Diſappointed") is a song written by Andy Partridge of the English rock band XTC and released in March 1992 by Virgin Records as the lead single from their twelfth album, Nonsuch (1992).

According to Partridge: the lyrics are about people who have been turned down romantically and come together to form an organisation "of the disappointed." It was originally inspired by Argentina's Mothers of the Disappeared. The music video was directed by a relative of Ranulph Fiennes. A home demo of the song was later released on Coat of Many Cupboards (2002).
