"Geraldine" is a 2008 single by Scottish indie rock band Glasvegas. It was released on 23 June 2008 and reached number 16 on the UK singles chart, and number one on the NME chart two weeks later. It also reached number one on the Scottish Singles Chart.

According to the NME website:

This song seems to hold much truth as Geraldine really has given up her job as a social worker to sell Glasvegas merchandise at concerts. On the album, the 20 second intro to "Geraldine" is tacked onto the end of preceding song "Flowers & Football Tops," giving "Geraldine" a 3:45 run time. The single version of "Geraldine" includes this intro, making it 4:06. The song was nominated for Best International Song at the 2008 Swedish Rockbjörnen awards.
