"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a Christmas song, with words and music written by Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne in 1962. It was originally recorded by the Harry Simeone Chorale in 1962. However, Bing Crosby made a hit recording of the carol on Capitol Records on November 22, 1963 and released a week and a half later on a then-new Christmas album. Over the years, the song has been widely played on the radio. The original version has been available on numerous compilation Christmas albums and compact discs put out by Capitol Records.

The song was later recorded by many different artists, including House of Wires, the Hampton String Quartet, Andy Williams, The Carpenters, Gladys Knight, Perry Como, Copeland, David Arkenstone, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Delta Goodrem, Whitney Houston, Linda Eder, Ed Ames, Destiny's Child, Flyleaf, Celine Dion, and Rosie O'Donnell, Anthony Way and Rosie O' Donnell (with special guest Elmo). There's an instrumental version by Michael Angelo Batio. In recent years, the original version has become less popular than later renditions. There are many different versions of the sheet music, including sheet music for piano, guitar, trumpet, and tuba.
