"Komakino" is a song by English post-punk band Joy Division. It was released in July 1980[1] by record label Factory as a 7" flexi disc and given away free in select record shops.[2] 75,000 copies were pressed.[1]

The tracks are outtakes from the recording session for the album Closer.[1]

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