"Julia" is a song performed by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their album "1984 (For the Love of Big Brother)", which served as the soundtrack to the film "1984", an adaptation of the political novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell. The song was produced by Stewart and was the second and final single released from the album.

The song is a ballad with very sparse electronic instrumentation and an almost a cappella performance by Lennox. Her vocals are accentuated by vocoder effects in the background.

The title and lyrics of the song are based upon the novel's heroine and love interest, Julia. The cover artwork for the single is a still image from the film, featuring English actress Suzanna Hamilton as Julia.

Breaking a string of six consecutive Top 10 hits, "Julia" peaked at number forty-four on the UK singles chart.

The version of "Julia" found on the soundtrack differs from that of which is played during the end-credits of the film - which is more string based with less synthetic arrangements. This is also the case for many of the other songs on the soundtrack versus their version used in the film.
