"Miracles" is a song by British rock band Coldplay, which was written and recorded for the 2014 drama film Unbroken, directed by Angelina Jolie. The song was first unveiled on 11 December 2014, and released as a single from the film's soundtrack album on 15 December 2014 through Parlophone and Atlantic Records. The song was accompanied by a lyric video, which was released on 22 December of the same year. It is also included on the Japanese edition of the band's seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams (2015).

The song was well received by music critics, who praised its anthemic and uplifting feel. Several sources also noted that the song could be a serious contender for the Academy Award for Best Original Song; however, it ultimately did not receive a nomination.

On 28 October 2014, Coldplay announced on its official website that it would be releasing a song written and recorded especially for Unbroken, a film directed and produced by Angelina Jolie and telling the story of American Olympic distance runner and prisoner of war during World War II, Louis Zamperini.

On 29 November 2014, Billboard and Gigwise wrote on their websites that a snippet of "Miracles" was used in a commercial for Sky Movies Christmas. However, Billboard later updated the article, stating that the song used in the ad was not Coldplay's.

On 11 December 2014, an audio track of "Miracles" was released onto Coldplay's official YouTube channel. It was also announced that the song would be released on 15 December 2014 through Parlophone and Atlantic Records as a part of the Unbroken – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album accompanying the film, and as a single-track digital download via iTunes on the same day. It was also included on the Japanese release of A Head Full of Dreams as a bonus track.
