"'Up the Bracket'" is a song by the Libertines, released in September 2002. It is their second overall single and their first from the debut album 'Up the Bracket'.

The song alludes to London street crime: the title is a slang term used by comedian Tony Hancock for a punch to the throat; while "two crooked fingers" refers to the V-sign. "Joseph bloody in the hole" is a reference to Genesis, chapter 37.

In May 2007, 'NME' magazine placed "Up the Bracket" at number 47 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.
