"Komakino" is a song by English post-punk band Joy Division. It was released in April 1980 by record label Factory as a 7 in (180 mm) flexi disc and given away free in select record shops.[2] 75,000 copies were pressed.

The tracks are outtakes from the recording session for the album Closer.

The single's B-sides, "Incubation" and "As You Said", are both instrumentals.

This was the final release from Joy Division before Ian Curtis's death in May 1980.

"Komakino" and "Incubation" appear on the 1988 compilation Substance, and "As You Said" was added in the expanded reissue of the album in 2015 and in the B-side of New Order's Video 586 single. All three tracks are also collected on the 4-CD 1997 compilation Heart and Soul.
