"Turn-Down Day" is a song written by Jerry Keller and David Blume and performed by The Cyrkle. It reached #16 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian pop chart and also reached #18 on the U.S. Cashbox chart in 1966. The song was featured on their 1966 album, Red Rubber Ball.

According to Candy Leonard, author of Beatleness: How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade the World (Arcade, 2014), the song is an excellent example of the emerging hippie ethos of the 1960s.
