"The Hanging Garden" is a song by English rock band the Cure, released as the sole single from their fourth studio album, Pornography.

[5][6] At the time of its release, NME writer Adrian Thrills was not impressed with the single, writing, "The Cure have drifted disappointingly and indulgently from the idyllic pop invention of their younger days".

[7] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Stewart Mason wrote that the song was heavily influenced by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Similarly, Simon Gallup's bass borrows something from Steven Severin's insistent throb, and Smith's own guitar is primarily used for drones and ornamentation, much as it was in the Banshees".

[8] The live music and art precinct in central Hobart, 'In the Hanging Garden', was named after the song.
