"One Word" is a song by British singer Kelly Osbourne, released as the first and only single from her second studio album, Sleeping in the Nothing (2005), in May 2005.

Critical reception "One Word" received positive reviews from music critics, even some of Osbourne's harshest critics. On the track, Billboard said "she glides through the space-age number like she's the princess of the new wave dancefloor." Similarly, Malinda Lo said the track "eases you in with a spacey, synthesized intro" and "makes use of computer assistance in the best possible way". Brian Hiatt with Rolling Stone remarked, "Turns out her affectless vocals are better suited to...Eurythmics-biting synth-pop." While the single was not successful on the US Billboard Hot 100, it was highly successful on the US dance charts where it reached number 1 on three US dance charts. It was consistently played at nightclubs across the nation, due to a remix by acclaimed DJ Chris Cox. Slant ranked it as the fourth best single of 2005.
