"Blood of Eden" is the third single from English rock musician Peter Gabriel's 1992 album Us, featuring backing vocals by Sinéad O'Connor. It narrowly failed to break the UK top 40.

The single has two b-side tracks: A remix of "Mercy Street" (originally from Gabriel's previous studio album So, released in 1986) by William Orbit and an earlier version of the a-side. This version had originally appeared in the Wim Wenders film Until the End of the World (1991) but was not included on the official soundtrack.

The song was performed on the 1994 Secret World tour with tour backup singer Paula Cole. This was released on both the Secret World Live album, as well as on the Secret World Live concert film.

All songs written by Peter Gabriel.
