"The Real Thing" is a song originally recorded by Australian singer Russell Morris in 1969. His version, which was produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum and written by Johnny Young, was a huge hit in Australia and has become an Australian rock classic. It also had success in the United States of America, reaching the top of the charts in Chicago and New York City, but this success was limited due to the fact that the song was split over two sides of the record.

Morris' version of "The Real Thing" was featured in the soundtrack for the movie The Dish.

The performer Kylie Minogue released a version in 2000. Her version is featured on the soundtrack to the movie Sample People. Australian rock band Midnight Oil has also released a version.
