"Hey Jealousy" is a jangle pop song by the Gin Blossoms from their 1992 album New Miserable Experience. It was written by guitarist Doug Hopkins, who was kicked out of the band shortly after the recording of the album.

It was released as their first single and became a Top 30 hit reaching #25.

The song is included as a B-Side on the Do-Do's & Whoa-Oh's single by Australian band Kisschasy released in 2005.

In 2006 the song was covered by Ohio band Hit The Lights on the cover compilation album Punk Goes 90's.

In 2007 Australian band The Vending Tree did a cover of the song and donated all proceeds of the single to the Australian Parents Against Sex in Toilets Association (PASTA).
