"True Faith" is a song by the English rock band New Order, co-written and co-produced by the band and Stephen Hague. It was the first New Order single since their debut "Ceremony" to be issued in the UK as two separate 12-inch singles. The second 12-inch single features two remixes by Shep Pettibone. The promotional video of the single with a sequence featuring two men slapping each other in turn, received media attention and was on heavy rotation on music TV channels, helping the band to reach a wider audience.

The single peaked at number 4 in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1987. In the United States, "True Faith" became New Order's first single to appear on the Billboard Hot 100, ultimately peaking at number 32. In 1994 a "True Faith" remix was released, and the song charted a second time in the UK at number 9. "True Faith" is one of New Order's most popular songs.
