"Swine" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song by American singer Demi Lovato, released as a charity single through Island Records on June 22, 2023. It was written by Lovato along with Laura Veltz, Upsahl, and its producers Warren "Oak" Felder, Alex Niceforo, and Keith "Ten4" Sorrells. A protest song about abortion rights, it was released two days before the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court of the United States' decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. The single's net profits were donated to the Demi Lovato Foundation's Reproductive Justice Fund, which went to three nonprofit organizations.

"Swine" is a rock, nu metal, and pop punk track driven by drums and electric guitars. A music video for the song, directed by Meriel O'Connell, was released alongside it. The video depicts Lovato and a group of people singing the song angrily in front of men, who represent the Supreme Court. It received two nominations at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, for Best Video for Good and Best Pop Video. "Swine" was praised by music critics for its anthemic sound, although Christian publications criticized the song for "being against life". In the United States, "Swine" peaked at number 12 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. Lovato performed the track live at the 2023 The Town Festival in Brazil.
