"Fire/Jericho" was the third single released by the British electronica/rave act The Prodigy on 7 September 1992.

The single was sub-titled "Strangely Limited Edition" due to the 12" vinyl record being deleted after two weeks. This was to move the focus over to the release of the debut album, "Experience", following a few weeks later. Even when the single was re-released, the subtitle was still standing.

The song uses the sample "I am the god of Hell fire, and I bring you (fire)" from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's 1968 single "Fire".

A video was directed by frequent collaborator Russel Simmons, but the band thought the result to be so bad that they prohibited it from airplay. The video did however turn up on a compilation from XL called "The Video Chapter". Due to its rarity, this video has been much sought after by fans.
