"Grandma's Song" is a song that was written and recorded by American country artist Gail Davies. The song was released as a single in July 1981 on Warner Bros. Records.
The song was written by Gail Davies as a tribute to her grandmother, Frances Marion Whitten. Davies features her grandmother's singing voice at the beginning of the track, singing part of "The Fox Hunting Song", a popular folk song. "Grandma's Song" was recorded in April 1980 at the "Producer's Workshop" recording studio in Hollywood, California, United States. Davies produced the session herself and recorded the rest of her third studio album, I'll Be There, during this one session.

The single became Davies' fourth Billboard top-ten hit and her third top-ten single from her album I'll Be There.
