"The Court" is a song by English musician Peter Gabriel. A version of the song mixed by Tchad Blake, entitled the "Dark-Side Mix", was released on 5 February 2023.[1] Much like "Panopticom", the single's release date was chosen to coincide with a full moon.[2] The song's "free-form, impressionistic lyric that connected to justice" concerns the balance between the necessity of the legal system and the abuse of power that happens within it.[3]

Versions of the song entitled the "Bright-Side Mix" (done by Mark "Spike" Stent) and the "Atmos In-Side Mix" were released.[4] The single's cover art features the photograph "Lifting the Curse" by Tim Shaw.[5]
