"Summer Sunshine" is a single by Irish band The Corrs, released in May 2004. It is the opening track from the album Borrowed Heaven, released a fortnight later.

Andrea Corr, who wrote the song, has described it as dark and full of sadness, despite being very upbeat. It also contains the phrase 'borrowed heaven', which provided the basis for another song on the same album, as well as the album title. Kevin Godley was enlisted to direct the promo video.
