"Gamma Knife" is a song by the Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 9 March 2016 as the lead single for the band's eighth studio album Nonagon Infinity. The song gets its name from Gamma Knife surgery, a type of radiosurgery used to treat brain tumors by administering high-intensity gamma radiation therapy in a manner that concentrates the radiation over a small volume.
The song is one of the band's most played live and is featured on live albums such as Live in San Francisco '16, Live in Brussels '19, and Live at Red Rocks '22.
