"Ruined in a Day" is a song by English rock group New Order. It was released as the second single from their 1993 album Republic. In Australia, it was released as the third single from the album, on 24 January 1994. The song also appeared on the group's Best of compilation the following year, and on the 2005 chronology Singles.

The video for the track depicts the band and their long-standing collaborator Keith Allen immersed in a bizarre game of charades for Hollywood Blockbusters, with a group of Buddhist monks. Allen also directed the promo.
