"Timber" is a song by UK dance act Coldcut with Hexstatic.

"Timber" contains audio samples of logging activities from a Greenpeace film about rainforest destruction,[1] as shown in the original video for the song, and was conceived by the band as a protest against the excesses of the logging industry.[2]

The 2001 Guinness Book of Records listed the song under Most Music Videos For One Song, since there are five different videos for the song: the original mix, the EBN remix, the LPC remix, the Clifford Gilberto remix and the Gnomadic remix.[3] The Timber EP contains 7 versions of the song.
