"Jubilation" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka for his 1972 studio album of the same name. Anka wrote the song with Johnny Harris, who also produced the track. It was released in 1972 as a 7" single by Buddah Records. A gospel song, the lyrics of "Jubilation" find the protagonist preaching about religious themes. Making a moderate commercial impact, it peaked on the record charts in both Canada and the United States. It has since been included on several of Anka's greatest hits albums and covered by The Edwin Hawkins Singers in 1973.

American vocalist Barbra Streisand covered "Jubilation" in 1974 for her sixteenth studio album, ButterFly. It was also released as a single but was substantially shorter than Anka's original version. Commenting on her cover, Anka praised Barbra's vocal capabilities and joked that she "can sing the phone book" if she wanted to.

"Jubilation" was included on Anka's 1972 studio album (also titled Jubilation) and released by Buddah Records in May. It was one of the two songs written by Anka on the album, with the other being "She's a Lady". "Jubilation" was first sent to United States Top 40 radio stations in 1972 as an airplay single, accompanied by the release of two different 7" singles. In a September 1972 Billboard article describing how American music would often find more success in Canada, the author claimed that despite Anka having Canadian citizenship, "Jubilation" was listed as "domestic content" on Canadian radio stations.

The song was also physically released as a single in the United States and Canada. The promotional version, released in both countries, includes an extended and a shortened version of "Jubilation". The main United States edition features B-side track "Everything's Been Changed", another song written by Anka. "Jubilation", along with other tracks on the album, is primarily a gospel song. The track was written by Anka and Johnny Harris, with the latter musician solely producing it. It was mastered by Robin C. Kruse and recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City during 1972. In the lyrics, the protagonist preaches and discusses religious themes: "Sinners take the key / For the life that you lead is deceiving / Nothing replaces a man / That embraces believing, no".
