Confusion is a single released by British group New Order in August 1983 with the catalogue number FAC 93. It was the follow-up to their massive club hit Blue Monday. The song is produced by influential New York DJ Arthur Baker. As a result it was recorded in New York, a first for the band, and the video was also shot in the city. Three remixes served as b-sides on the initial 12" release: Confused Beats, Confusion Instrumental and Confusion Rough Mix.

A re-recorded Confusion as well as the original Confusion Instrumental appear on the group's 1987 Substance release. The track reappeared in 1998 as part of the Blade film soundtrack with a techno version known as the Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix, which had previously appeared on the 1995 remix collection, The Rest of New Order.
