"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (sometimes with Coming changed to Comin') is a Christmas song. It was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, and was first sung on Eddie Cantor's radio show in November 1934. It became an instant hit with orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day and over 400,000 copies sold by Christmas.

The original version of it was recorded on September 27, 1935 by Joe Harris with Benny Goodman & His Orchestra.

The song is a traditional standard at Christmas time, and has been covered by numerous recording artists, including The Jackson 5, who released a number one U.S. hit single version in 1970 (see 1970 in music). That same year, Rankin-Bass produced an hour-long television film based on the song, with narrator Fred Astaire telling the original story of Santa Claus. Other artists that have made notable covers of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" include Gene Autry, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Tony Bennett, Dave Brubeck, Mariah Carey, Ray Charles, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Hilary Duff, Ella Fitzgerald, Fourplay, Woody Herman, The Pointer Sisters, Frank Sinatra (including a duet with Cyndi Lauper), The Cheetah Girls, Emma Roberts and Bruce Springsteen. Mariah Carey recorded her version of the song for her holiday album Merry Christmas (1994), and in 2005 (see 2005 in music), a re-recording co-produced by Jermaine Dupri was included on the album's anniversary re-release and released as a CD single with the purchase of the 2005 DVD of the 1970s film Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town.
