"Freedom" is a song by British synth pop duo Erasure. It was the first single released from Erasure's ninth studio album "Loveboat". The track was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. "Freedom" (as well as the entire "Loveboat" album) was produced by Flood, and this is the first Flood-produced Erasure single since "The Circus" in 1987.

Mute Records released "Freedom" in the UK and the single was never released in the United States due to problems with Erasure's then-record company Maverick (the "Loveboat" album would not see a U.S. release until 2003). The song peaked at number twenty-seven on the UK singles chart and at number eighty in Germany.
