"Pop Song" is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Sylvian. The song was a non-album single, recorded to promote the box set Weatherbox, but not actually featured on it (it did appear on a sampler). It made its compilation debut on Everything And Nothing.

The song was written in response to Virgin asking Sylvian to write a 'Pop Song' to release as a single, which he responded to by writing a very unorthodox song called 'Pop Song'. The two B Sides 'A Brief Conversation Ending In Divorce' and 'The Stigma Of Childhood (Kin)' were also original. They were later included on the remastered version of Sylvian's album Alchemy.
