Everything's Gone Green is a single released by British group New Order in December 1981. It was only released in Belgium on Factory's Benelux sub-label and bears the catalogue number FBNL 8.

It is supposedly the first song by the group to contain computer-generated sounds. The song had already been released in an edited form, as a B-side on the single "Procession" in September of the same year. The B-sides for this release are "Cries and Whispers" and "Mesh"; the tracks being correctly identified on the label, but with their names in the wrong order on the sleeve. This led to their being misidentified on subsequent releases; for example, the track identified as "Mesh" on the CD version of the "Substance" compilation is actually "Cries and Whispers". All three tracks appear on the cassette version of "Substance".

All tracks were produced by Martin Hannett, this being the last work he did with New Order.

Both "Everything's Gone Green" and "Mesh" also appear on the "1981-1982" EP, along with the tracks from the "Temptation" 12". The EP was released in 1982. The cover artwork was designed by Martha Ladly for which she won a design award.
