"Suspended in Gaffa" is a song recorded by English art rock singer Kate Bush. It was released as the fourth single from her fourth studio album The Dreaming (1982). "Suspended in Gaffa" was released as a single in continental Europe and Australia, but not in the UK.

The song lyrics are about seeing something one really wants (God in this case), then not being able to see or experience it ever again.{{cite web |url=http://gaffa.org/cloud/music/suspended_in_gaffa.html |title= Kate Bush in Her Own Words |website=gaffa.org |accessdate=12 July 2017}} The "gaffa" of the title and chorus refers to gaffer tape, the strong matte black tape used by technicians in the film and concert industries.{{cite web |url=http://gaffa.org/garden/kate18.html |title=Kate's KBC article, Issue 16, Untitled & Interview |website=gaffa.org |accessdate=12 July 2017}}

The B-side is the original mix of "Ne t'enfuis pas", which is misspelled on the sleeve as "Ne T'en Fui Pas". In some countries, the B-side was "Dreamtime" (which originally appeared as the B-side to "The Dreaming").

A music video for the song was produced. It features Bush performing an interpretive dance in a barn.
