A fight song is a rousing short song associated with a sports team. These songs are commonly played several times at a sporting event. In Australian rules football, the team song is traditionally sung by the winning team at the end of the game.

Some fight songs have a long history, connecting the fans who sing them to a time-honored tradition, frequently to music played by the institution's band. An analysis of 65 college fight songs by FiveThirtyEight identified words commonly used in the lyrics of these songs, including fight, win, and victory. In 1997, USA Today selected "Aggie War Hymn", the fight song of Texas A&M University, as the "No. 1" college football fight song in the United States.
