The Cult - "She Sells Sanctuary", a song by British rock band the Cult. It is from their second studio album, Love (1985), and was written by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy.

The song’s lyrics describe a girl who sells sanctuary and provides solace to people who seek refuge from the chaotic world around them.
