"Caroline" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1973. It was included on the 1973 album Hello!

It was written by Bob Young and Francis Rossi on a table napkin in the dining room of a hotel in Perranporth, Cornwall, in 1970.

It was the second song Status Quo played at their Live Aid gig in 1985 and it inspired Apollo 440's 1999 single "Stop the Rock".

The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.
