"Heart of the Sunrise" is a progressive rock song by British band Yes. It is the closing track on their fourth album, 1971's Fragile. The compositional credits go to Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, and Bill Bruford, though keyboardist Rick Wakeman contributed some uncredited sections.

The song eventually rose to become the band's fifth most-played song, and appears on Yessongs, Classic Yes, In a Word: Yes (1969–), and many other studio and live retrospectives. The song was featured in the 1998 comedy-drama film Buffalo '66.
