"'Waiting'" is the first single of British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, released in May 1996. It came in two formats: a regular CD and a 12" vinyl. At the time, the single was intended to promote the forthcoming album 'Signify'. The song is divided into two parts, the second one being an instrumental follow-up.

'Waiting' is considered the first Porcupine Tree single for its length, since 'Voyage 34' and 'Voyage 34: Remixes' are singles of around 30 and 40 minutes respectively that would fit better in the category of EPs.

The song entered the UK Indie Chart, attracting airplay all over Europe.

Porcupine Tree contributed an edit of "Waiting (Phase Two)" to the soundtrack for Paul Spurrier's movie 'Underground', whereas the credits erroneously listed "Waiting (Phase One)".
