"She Sells Sanctuary" was a single from the rock band The Cult's "Love" album in 1985.

The band has released various versions of this song. In June, 1985, a few months prior to the release of the "Love" album, three versions had been released: "The Long Version", "The Howling Mix", and "Assault on Sanctuary". It is the last song to be recorded with The Cult's drummer and close friend of Ian Astbury, Nigel Preston. In 1993, several more mixes were released on two different CD singles, each called "Sanctuary MCMXCIII" volumes one and two. The "Sundance" remix was remixed by Butch Vig who previously had produced Nirvana's Nevermind Album. The "Dog Star Rising" remix was remixed by "Youth" who has produced The Cult's latest album Born Into This.
