"Come to My Window" is a song by American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released in 1993, by Island Records, as the second single from her fourth studio album, Yes I Am (1993). The song was written and co-produced by Etheridge with Hugh Padgham, and was the first song to become a hit after Etheridge publicly announced that she was a lesbian. With the driving force of gay rights, the song gained substantial airplay on radio stations, mostly through call-in requests.

"Come to My Window" reached number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed on the chart for 44 weeks. The song also charted in Canada, reaching number 13 on the RPM Top Singles chart. It was the second song from Etheridge that earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. The accompanying music video was directed by Samuel Bayer, featuring Juliette Lewis, and received a nomination at the 1994 Billboard Music Video Awards. In 2019, Billboard magazine included "Come to My Window" in its list of the "30 Lesbian Love Songs".
