Going Underground è un brano composto e inciso dai The Jam, pubblicato come singolo nel 1980. Viene realizzato dalla band britannica in seguito all'ottimo successo riscosso con l'album Setting Sons, quello che era stato il primo della loro carriera a "far capolino" nelle classifiche statunitensi, concepito come concept album sull'amicizia di tre ragazzi. Il brano in questione conferma e moltiplica tale successo; scritta dal frontman Paul Weller, è un'attenta disamina sulla condizione politica di quegli anni targata "Margaret Thatcher".
