"This Corrosion" is a song from the album "Floodland" by The Sisters of Mercy. It was released as a single in 1987.

The song was written by Andrew Eldritch and produced by Jim Steinman. It is generally recognised as one of the band's most impressive songs, using a 40-piece orchestra and lasting for over 10 minutes. Eldritch's lyrics concern his previous band members leaving The Sisters of Mercy to form The Mission.

There is also a 1999 cover version by the German band In Extremo, and a 2007 cover by the Swedish band Maryslim, featuring vocals from Jyrki 69 of The 69 Eyes.
