"I Can't Wait" is a song by American singer Stevie Nicks from her third solo studio album Rock a Little (1985). Written by Nicks, Rick Nowels and Eric Pressly, the song was released as the album's lead single in Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as the second single in the United States and Germany.

"I Can't Wait" first charted in Australia, debuting on the Kent Music Report chart on 13 January 1986, peaking at #20 in February. The single first entered the UK chart on 25 January 1986, peaking at #54 in early February; her first single to chart there since 1981's "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". "I Can't Wait" spent a solitary week on the Irish chart at #29 on 23 January 1986. In New Zealand, the single entered the chart on 16 February 1986, peaking at #39 the following week. The song peaked inside the US top 20 at #16 for two weeks and is one of only four of Nicks' singles to enter the US Dance charts peaking inside the top 30. In Germany, "I Can't Wait" entered the chart in early May 1986, peaking at #58 two weeks later.

The single's American chart run coincided with that of a Nu Shooz song also titled "I Can't Wait".

"I Can't Wait" was re-issued as a single in the UK and Europe in October 1991, to promote the "Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks" compilation album. The single peaked marginally higher in the UK on this release, at #47 in November 1991.

The song can be also heard on the fictitious radio station "Los Santos Rock Radio" of the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V and on the Swiffer commercial.

The song was recorded in 1985 at The Village Recorder in Hollywood, CA and was written by Nicks and co-writers Rick Nowels and Eric Pressly. The song was produced by Nowels and Jimmy Iovine, who had worked with Nicks since her Bella Donna album but later left the Rock a Little project.
