"Fly, Robin, Fly" is a 1975 song by the German group Silver Convention. It rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1975, staying there for three weeks. It was the second song performed by German citizens and the first song by a German pop group to rise to #1 on the American music charts.

"Fly, Robin, Fly" carries the distinction of being a Billboard chart-topper with one of the fewest numbers of unique words: six. The chorus simply repeats "Fly, robin, fly" three times, with an ending of "Up, up to the sky!" This was because the band had trouble learning English, and they didn't want to have to learn an entire song to sing.

During the song's segment on VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Songs, it was revealed that the song's working title was "Run, Rabbit, Run".

"Fly, Robin, Fly" won a Grammy Award in 1976 for Best Instrumental Performance, due to its long interludes in between choruses.
