This article is about the Miller-Parish song. For the Carly Simon album, see Moonlight Serenade.

"Moonlight Serenade" is an American popular song with original music by Glenn Miller and subsequent lyrics by Mitchell Parish. First recorded in 1939 by Miller's band, it was an immediate phenomenon as an instrumental arrangement and was adopted as Miller's signature tune. It has stood as a premier example of the American big-band sound from the mid-twentieth century.
