"Noid" is a 2024 song by American rapper Tyler, the Creator, released as the lead single from his eighth studio album, Chromakopia. The song focuses on the paranoia (cf. "paranoid") experienced by Tyler as a figure in the public eye. It was released alongside a music video featuring American actress Ayo Edebiri.[1][2][3]

The song samples "Nizakupanga Ngzo" by Zambian band Ngozi Family from their 1977 album 45,000 Volts.[4] The vocal sample features lead singer Paul Ngozi singing in his native Nyanja language about being respectful when visiting his home.[5]
