'Peacock Suit' is a song by English singer-songwriter Paul Weller that was released on 5 August 1996 as the first single from his fourth solo album Heavy Soul. It reached 5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1996, making it the highest-charting single of his solo career.

Weller wrote the song in response to a newspaper article which criticised the Mod clothing movement.
