"Catch the Rainbow" is a song by the band Rainbow, released on their debut album Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and live album On Stage. Although never released as a single, the song became one of Rainbow's greatest hits and is featured on all of their compilations. Melodically, the song resembles "Little Wing" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience while the arrangement has many Pink Floyd influences. The lyrics also seem to be a continuing for "Little Wing" ("Soft and warm she'll touch my face, a bed of straw against the lace").

The song is featured in the 1999 South Korean movie Peppermint Candy.
