"Punch and Judy" is a song by the British neo-prog band Marillion. It was the first single from their second studio album Fugazi. The lyrics of the song are about a marriage gone bad.

The single reached no. 29 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1984. This was the only single during the band's EMI years that no music video was shot for.

A CD replica of the single was also part of a collectors box-set released in July 2000, which contained Marillion's first twelve singles and was re-issued as a 3-CD set in 2009 (see The Singles '82-'88).
