"Shipwrecked" is a song by English rock band Genesis, released in December 1997 as the second single from their fifteenth album, Calling All Stations (1997). It was a minor hit, reaching No.54 in the UK[1] and No.82 in Germany.[2]

The song is classified as a break-up song. The song sings about someone who has recently broken up with his significant other, and now feels "shipwrecked", hopeless, and alone.

Some single versions featured acoustic versions of "No Son of Mine", "Lover's Leap", and "Turn It On Again" as B-sides.
