"God Save the Queen" is a cover of the Sex Pistols song "God Save the Queen" by the heavy metal band Motörhead. It was released as a single in 2000 to promote their album We Are Motörhead.
The cover art gives further reference to the Sex Pistols by using the same cut-out words to form the title as the Sex Pistols' single cover.
A performance of the song recorded during the band's 25th anniversary concert at Brixton Academy, on October 22, 2000 appears on their 25 & Alive Boneshaker DVD.
