"Don Quixote" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw from his 1984 studio album The Riddle. Released in August 1985 as the final single from that album, it reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1985, and became Kershaw's seventh (and last) consecutive UK Top 20 hit single.

A month before "Don Quixote" was released as a single, it was the second of four songs played by Kershaw at Live Aid. The others were previous singles "The Riddle", "Wouldn't It Be Good" and "Wide Boy".
