"Bagdad" is a song by Spanish singer Rosalía. It was released on 4 December 2018 by Columbia Records as the fourth single from her second studio album, El mal querer (2018).

Inspired by the Barcelonian erotic club of the same name, lyrically "Bagdad" talks about a woman's loneliness. It was written by Antón Álvarez, Leticia Sala, Luís Troquel and Rosalía, with production handled by El Guincho and co-produced by Rosalía herself. It contains an interpolation of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" and a choral participation by the Orfeó Català as well as arrangements by Joan Albert Amargós.
