"Suspicion" is the fourth and final single released from American rock band R.E.M.'s from their 11th studio album, Up (1998). Unlike previous singles from Up, "Suspicion" was the only single from the album not to chart.

A live version of the song, recorded at Toast Studios in San Francisco, 1998, was released as a B-side to the second single from Up, "Lotus", released the following year and peaked at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. This version was included in the German releases of the CD.
