"Kingdom" is a song performed by Depeche Mode's singer Dave Gahan. The song was written and produced by Gahan, Andrew Phillpott, and Christian Eigner for Gahan's second solo album Hourglass (2007). The song was released as the album's first single in October 2007. The single version removed the third stanza of the first verse, the instrumental part preceding the second chorus, and most of the bridge at the end.

The song has received increasing airplay on US alternative rock radio throughout the month of September and became one of the 100-most-played modern rock songs in the US in mid-September. Major support has come from WEQX (Albany, New York) and KNRK (Portland, Oregon). In late September 2007, Alt Nation (Sirius Satellite Radio), Ethel (XM Satellite Radio), and KDLD (Los Angeles) have offered airplay to the song. As of late September 2007, the song was receiving airplay from 21 US modern rock stations. By mid-October, the number had grown to 29 stations and the song had become one of the 75-most-played. In the UK, however, a week after release on CD, the single only reached a chart peak of #44 (as of 15/10/07), meaning that it charted lower than any of Dave's CD-format singles from his first album, Paper Monsters. However, more success was achieved in mainland Europe, with the song reaching the Top 10 in Germany and Italy, and the top of the chart in Spain. The song was also featured in the episode "The Ringer" of the CBS show Moonlight, which first aired on November 10, 2007, and was also included in the soundtrack album for the 2008 movie Lost Boys: The Tribe.
