"Heartbeat" is a song by the band King Crimson, released as a single in 1982. The music video stars Jill Kroesen and was innovative for its use of blending faces with a dissolving /morphing technique that would later be employed in music videos for Godley & Creme's "Cry" (1985) and Michael Jackson's "Black or White" (1991).

The song was later recorded by King Crimson guitarist and singer Adrian Belew for his 1990 solo album, Young Lions.
