"Adentro Cojutepeque" is a song written and composed in 1942 by Salvadoran singer-composer Francisco Palaviccini, creator of the Salvadoran genre xuc. It was composed for the Cojutepeque's Sugarcane Celebration (Fiestas de la Caña de Azúcar).

This song was released during the patron saint festivities of Cojutepeque, held in January 1958. The song was performed by Orquesta Internacional Polío, with Palaviccini as its conductor. "Adentro Cojutepeque" has become a cultural reference for El Salvador since it was the first xuc song composed. This version, with Gil Medinas's voice, is widely recognized as part of the popular music of El Salvador.

The song was recorded and included in his 1962 album El Xuc.
