"Underneath the Radar" is a song by English electronic music group Underworld, released in 1988 from their debut album, Underneath the Radar (1988). It was featured prominently in the fifth-season premiere of Miami Vice, during the opening aerial shots of Miami and subsequent nightclub shootout. The Morse code in the first 30 seconds of the song reads "Think global, act local". Commercially, the song reached number two in South Africa, number five in Australia, number 14 in New Zealand, number 69 in Canada, and number 74 in the United States.

Big Brother Australia 2006 contestant Danielle Foote also released a cover of the song in 2006, which reached number 41 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
