"Everyday, Katyusha" (Everyday、カチューシャ, Eburidei, Kachūsha?) is the 21st single by Japanese idol girl group AKB48, released on May 25, 2011.

The first presses of the single came with a ticket to vote in the AKB48 22nd Single Senbatsu Election (to choose the members to be featured in the next AKB48's single, to be released in the summer.)

"Everyday, Katyusha" was used as the theme song for the film Moshidora, which stars AKB48 members Atsuko Maeda and Minami Minegishi, and the song "Yankee Soul" will be the title track for the television drama Majisuka Gakuen 2 by TV Tokyo. It was announced that part of the proceeds from this album will be donated to help the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. "Everyday, Katyusha" sold a total of 942,475 copies on its release day alone, and it set a new sales record with sales of 1.33 million albums on its debut week.
