"Blue Kiss" is a song written by Jane Wiedlin and Randell Kirsch and performed by Jane Wiedlin, the rhythm guitar player of the all-female rock band The Go-Go's. It was the lead single from her self-titled debut album Jane Wiedlin.

An extended 12-inch single was also released, featuring an instrumental version of "Blue Kiss", along with two extended dance versions, one of which was remixed by famed Madonna collaborator William Orbit.

"Blue Kiss" can be heard during the frat house party scene in the film Night of the Creeps (1988), and was used during the date montage scene in the Sci-Fi indie film The iDol (2007).

There were two versions of a video produced for this song - one was not released, the other features Jane playing her guitar and singing in the back of a truck traveling a backroad.
