Virtual insanity is een single uit 1996 van Jamiroquai. De single is afkomstig van hun derde album Travelling without moving.

Virtual insanity werd meest bekend door een destijds opvallende videoclip. Leadzanger Jay Kay zingt het lied in een grijswitte kamer. In die kamer staan steeds wisselende combinaties van banken en stoelen. Deze lijken binnen die kamer te bewegen, terwijl ook zichtbaar is dat de vloer van de kamer beweegt. Hij won de MTV Video Music Award in 1997.

Its music video, directed by Jonathan Glazer, was released in September 1996, garnering ten nominations and winning four, including for Video of the Year, at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards. The music video has since become an Internet meme.
