Vicinity of Obscenity — сингл рок-группы System of a Down с альбома Hypnotize, и, на 2020 год, их последний сингл. Это одна из самых необычных композиций этого альбома, её отличают более тяжелое звучание, странное построение музыкальной структуры и, на первый взгляд, полное отсутствие смысловой нагрузки. На концертах песня исполнялась всего семь раз. CD также включает в себя Lonely Day.
