"Good Time" is a song recorded and written by American country music singer Alan Jackson. It is the title track and second single from his album Good Time, having been released on April 21, 2008. Overall, it is his forty-eighth Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and his twenty-fourth Number One hit. This song is used in the Rock Band Country Track Pack, and has been confirmed as upcoming downloadable content for the Rock Band series.

"Good Time" is an up-tempo song in which the narrator claims that he is tired after a week of working, and wants to have a party because "all the conditions are right".

After the first verse, the lyrics list off the various details of the party, such as "a shot of tequila, beer on tap / Sweet Southern woman to sit on my lap". The lyrics also contain references to "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" by Hank Williams, Jr. and "Boot Scootin' Boogie" by Brooks & Dunn. The radio edit omits two verses. Jackson also released a remix called the "Too Hot to Fish" mix, which increases the rhythm section.

As with all the other songs on the album, Alan Jackson wrote "Good Time" himself. Describing the song in an article for Country Weekly magazine, he said, "I've just always written things that are simpler… just things that I like and my fans still like… [Fans] would just rather have something that makes their day easier."

The music video for "Good Time" showed Jackson and his band playing the song, as hundreds of people formed a huge line dance. Local television coverage clips showing that Jackson was attempting to set the record for longest line dance were included. The televised news coverage and line dance record attempt were fictional and performed by actors for dramatic purposes. This video was directed by Trey Fanjoy. However, after about 6 months on the TV, the channels cut it short, by replacing it with the radio version, cutting off the outro, & using a different intro, with Jay Leno in the beginning. The late George Jones made a cameo in the video with his wife Nancy Jones. Alan's wife, Denise Jackson, made a cameo at the end of the video where her unidentified character plays the role of picking Alan up in a convertible sports car.
