"Forever Young" is a song by German synth-pop band Alphaville released as the third single from the song's titular debut album. The single was successful in Scandinavia and in the European German-speaking countries in the same year.

The single has been covered by numerous artists. It also formed the basis of Jay-Z's song "Young Forever". "Forever Young" is written in the key of C major.

In a 2022 interview, Alphaville lead singer Marian Gold said that it is "a great privilege" to have "Forever Young", as well as "Big in Japan", in "their luggage" when touring, and that he is grateful to be able to perform these songs.
