"From Paris to Berlin" is a song by Danish pop group Infernal. It was released in 2005 as the third single from their third studio album, From Paris to Berlin.

It is known as their signature song as this was the first that charted in many countries throughout Europe and Australia in 2005 and 2006. It went to number one on the Danish Singles Chart, number two in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and number six in Norway. The single was the United Kingdom's sixth biggest selling single of the 2006. Shi Xin Hui, a female singer from Singapore, recorded a cover of this song. The cover was called "From Taipei to Beijing" and her debut album was released in the same name in November 2006.

Ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the song had been re-recorded for fans in the United Kingdom, with lyrics celebrating the England national football team with the title "From London to Berlin". However, the song was withdrawn from radio airplay and TV following England's anticipated knockout from the World Cup. Also, a video of BBC Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray dancing to this song was published on the Radio 1 website.
