"Carolyn's Fingers" is a song by Scottish alternative rock and dreampop band the Cocteau Twins, released in the US as a promotional single in 1988 from their album Blue Bell Knoll.

Speaking about the overall recording, writing and production of the album, bassist Simon Raymonde said "That whole period was incredibly fertile, even just before Blue Bell Knoll, with This Mortal Coil projects that I was deeply involved with, the Victorialand album [which Fraser and Guthrie recorded as a duo] and the Harold Budd collaboration, we were all super busy and – seemingly – fairly happy.

"[5] Danny Riley, writing for The Quietus praises the way that the preceding songs on the album "appear to lead up nicely to Carolyn's Fingers', that beautifully concise, naïve rush of psychedelic dance-pop".

The song was a moderate success in the United States market, where it reached #2 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay charts behind "Desire" by Irish rock band U2.

Due to increased popularity and pressure from their record label 4AD, the band agreed on the creation of a music video for "Carolyn's Fingers".

The video features a mix of split screen shots, depicting band members Elizabeth Fraser, Simon Raymonde and Robin Guthrie.
