"To Ramona" is a folk waltz written by Bob Dylan for his fourth studio album Another Side of Bob Dylan. The song is one of the many on the album to highlight the more personal, and less political, side of Dylan's songwriting that would become evermore prominent in the future. The song also makes many allusions to Dylan's personal relationship with fellow folk singer Joan Baez, at the time of its composition and subsequent release. It is another example of the G, G6, G7 melodic motif, Dylan uses pervasively on the record. A cover version of the song was recorded by The Flying Burrito Brothers on their 1971 self-titled album.

Irish singer, Sinead Lohan, recorded a version of To Ramona in 1996. This was released on a compilation album, The Loving Time

Philadelphia Indie rock band Days Away covered "To Ramona" for "Listen to Bob Dylan: A Tribute".
