"Celebration" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna from her third compilation album of the same name (2009). It was written by Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Ian Green and Ciaran Gribbin, and was produced by Madonna and Oakenfold. A dance pop party song that recalls the singer's work from the 1980s and 90s, its lyrics invite the listener to come and join a party. It was released as the compilation's lead single on July 30 2009. Official Remixes for the track were created by Oakenfold, Benny Benassi, Johnny Vicious, and Akon.

Upon release, "Celebration" received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its dance-oriented nature and similarity to Madonna's early hits, while others felt it was forgettable, generic, and were disappointed with its lyrical content. At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, it received a nomination in the Best Dance Recording category. "Celebration" had a weak commercial reception in the United States, peaking at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100; nonetheless, it became Madonna's 55th hit on the chart. It fared better in Europe, reaching the top spot in Bulgaria, Scotland, Italy, and Bulgaria. In other countries such as the United Kingdom, it reached the charts' top three.

Jonas Åkerlund directed the accompanying music video, which depicts Madonna dancing and doing provocative poses. Her daugher Lourdes Leon, and model Jesus Luz who was her boyfriend at the time, make appearances. Åkerlund directed an additional video containing fan footage. Madonna has performed the song on her MDNA (2012) and Celebration (2023–2024) concert tours.
