"Katyusha's Song" (カチューシャの唄, Kachūsha no Uta), or "Song of Katyusha", is a Japanese song which was highly popular in early-20th century Japan. It was composed in the major pentatonic scale by Shinpei Nakayama with lyrics by Soeda Azenbō. The song was sung by Sumako Matsui in a dramatization of Leo Tolstoy's 1899 novel Resurrection, first put on stage in the Geijutsuza theatre, Tokyo in 1914.

The same year the Nippon Kinetophone company released a kinetophone record of Matsui Sumako's singing with the same title.
