"Crazy Town" is a song written by Brett Jones and Rodney Clawson, and recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released in March 2010 as the fourth and final single from his 2009 album Wide Open. It has since become his tenth consecutive top 20 hit. It is also his first single that does not have a music video for it.

The song is an uptempo country rock song in which the narrator describes the Nashville music scene as being a "crazy town."

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock stated the song "accents Aldean's voice a bit allowing him to hide the nasal sound that sometimes pops up." Blake Boldt of Engine 145 gave it a "thumbs-down," summarizing his review by saying "'Crazy' is all power and no purpose."

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner uses the song as his walk-up theme. Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Jonny Venters comes out to pitch with this song. The Nashville Predators also use the song at their home games in a pregame video.

On the week ending March 6, 2010, "Crazy Town" debuted at number 49 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and moved up the following week to 36. It debuted at 96 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week of June 18, 2010.
