"Spider's Web" is the sixth single of Georgian born singer Katie Melua and is the third single from her album Piece by Piece. The title song was written during the lead up to the Iraq War and is said to be about finding the difference between right and wrong.

In the video for this single, there is a visual reference to Schindler's List.

The single was a bigger success in continental Europe than in Britain, where it only made #52 in the UK Singles Chart. In Poland, it made the top three.

Spider's Web is a 1954 play by crime writer Agatha Christie.

Spider's Web is a novelization by Charles Osborne of the 1954 play of the same name by crime fiction writer Agatha Christie and was first published in the UK by HarperCollins in September 2000 and on November 11, 2000 in the US by St. Martin's Press.

The book was written following the successful publication of the novelizations of the 1930 play Black Coffee in 1998 and the 1958 play The Unexpected Guest in 1999. Like those books, the novelization is a straightforward transfer of the stage lines and directions of Christie's script into a written narrative. Osborne chose not to add characters, lines or scenes which would alter in any substantial way what had been presented on the stage although minor amendments were made to produce suitable chapter endings.

Osborne contributed a section to the book on the history of Christie's plays.
