"Rock Me Gently" is a song by British synth pop duo Erasure. Written by group members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the track appeared on their album "Erasure". It was released as a single by Mute Records in selected European countries, including Germany and Czech Republic. "Rock Me Gently" was not released in the UK or the U.S.

In its album form, the song is an extended, ten-plus minutes mid-tempo synth ballad with ambient elements and a free-form vocal performance by Diamanda Galás during the song's breakdown. Bell's lead vocals were accentuated by the London Community Gospel Choir, who sang background (as they did on previous Erasure single "Stay with Me"). "Rock Me Gently" was drastically remixed for its single release — adding a radio-friendly drum track to the mix and editing out most of the Galás interlude.
