Ripples is a song from Genesis' 1976 album "A Trick of the Tail". The song is the longest on the album. Musically, it is a slow piece with prominent 12-string guitar and piano. The middle section of the piece features a long, melodic instrumental with guitar and synthesizer playing counter-melodies, in a style reminiscent of the guitar solo in "Firth of Fifth". It was released as the B-side to the single "A Trick of the Tail," and a promotional video was released. Later, the song was featured on Genesis' 3-disc compilation "Platinum Collection".

"Ripples" appeared as part of the setlist in Genesis' 2007 "," albeit transposed three semitones down to account for the deepening of Phil Collins's voice over time.
