"Labyrinth" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). Written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, it has a prominent electronic production. The track begins with dense, pulsating synthesizers, subtle guitars, muffled trap and house beats, and Swift's vocals in their upper register; its outro consists of repeated refrains sung with Swift's low-pitched voice. Music critics categorize the genre as synth-pop, dance-pop, and bedroom pop. In the lyrics, the narrator expresses her anxiety from falling in love again after going through heartbreak.

In reviews of Midnights, several music critics found the production of "Labyrinth" interesting, ethereal, and pretty. Some were also fond of the lyrical sentiments, but some others found the vocal production insubstantial. "Labyrinth" peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and reached the top 20 of singles charts in Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United States. The track received certifications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Swift performed "Labyrinth" live twice on her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
