"10 Out of 10" is a song by Dutch DJ and producer Oliver Heldens featuring Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was initially released as a promotional single by Kangarooli Tracks and RCA on 5 April 2023, and later included as a stand-alone track on Minogue's sixteenth studio album Tension (2023) by BMG and Darenote. Heldens and Minogue wrote the song with James Abrahart, Liana Banks, Jackson Foote, and Sarah Hudson, and it was produced by Heldens, Foote, and Duck Blackwell.

Originally a solo track by Heldens, his team contacted Minogue and sent her a demo version of the song, asking her to provide vocals and additional lyrics. Her changes to the original demo, as well as recording the track in remote locations without ever working with Heldens, posed additional challenges during the production process. Musically, it is an uptempo track with influences from synth-pop, house, disco, eurodance, and dance music from the 1980s to the 2020s. Critics noted the chorus and lyrics as an homage to LGBT culture, particularly ballroom and drag.

Music critics gave "10 out of 10" positive reviews, with many praising the blend of Heldens and Minogue's sounds, as well as the chorus and overall sound. Following its appearance on Tension, further critical analysis ranged from mixed to positive. In the United Kingdom, the song reached number 19 on the Single Sales and Download Chart, and also charted in several other European territories. Heldens had performed the song on several live shows and Minogue has sung the song a capella on certain dates for her More Than Just a Residency at The Venetian Las Vegas.
