"Siva" (pronounced "Shee-vah") is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins (at the time, known as simply Smashing Pumpkins) that was the first single from their debut album Gish. It was written by Billy Corgan. "Siva" was also the first music video filmed by the band.

In an early interview with Billy Corgan, he admitted that he had thought of the name for the song before he had written it, had labelled dozens of tapes with its name, and even considered naming the band "Siva" instead of "Smashing Pumpkins".

Siva is also a God in Hinduism.
