"Wardance" is a song by English rock band Killing Joke. It was released in 1980 by record label Malicious Damage as the first single from the band's self-titled debut studio album.

"Wardance" was released in February 1980 on 7" vinyl by record label Malicious Damage as the first single from the band's self-titled debut studio album. A small number of copies from the original pressing came with a pre-typed folded form of military "call-up papers" to be filled out and submitted by the purchaser. The B-side, "Pssyche", was commonly played live.

The single did not chart in the UK but reached number 50 in the US Billboard Dance Music/Club Play singles chart.

In 1993, Econoline Crush covered "Pssyche" for their Purge EP, and in 2004, Nouvelle Vague covered it on their self-titled debut album. In 2001, Mad Capsule Markets covered "Wardance" on their album 010.
