Genghis Khan" is a song by the Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow. It was the second single from their third studio album, iii, released on Downtown Records and Atlantic Records.

The music video for "Genghis Khan" was initially released on January 12, 2016 exclusively through BuzzFeed. The concept of the video follows a James Bond-esque theme in which a villain struggles to kill his captive due to personal conflicts. Instead of completing his task, the villain ultimately chooses to release his captive, who then makes an attempt to escape. However, in a last minute change of heart, he voluntarily returns to his captor. The two characters then unite through a joint dance sequence, while the villain is seemingly happy for the first time in the video. The video heavily explores themes of homosexuality, as seen by the antagonist of the story leaving his wife to start a new life with his male former captive. The story ends with the antagonist's ex-wife vengefully spying on him and his male partner, seemingly plotting her revenge.
