"Mamunia" is a song credited to Paul and Linda McCartney that first appeared on Wings' 1973 album Band on the Run. It was also released as the B-side of the "Jet" single in the US, but was replaced by "Let Me Roll It" when "Mamunia" was being considered as a possible future A-side.

"Mamunia" was written in Marrakesh early in 1973. The title was inspired by the hotel Mamounia in which the McCartneys were staying at the time. Mamounia means "safe haven" in Arabic. According to author John Blaney, McCartney used the term as a "metaphor for rebirth." "Mamunia" is one of several songs on Band on the Run, including title track and "Bluebird," which espouse a theme of escape and freedom. The song's verses use rain as a metaphor for the difficult times people face. The song's message is to not complain about difficult times because everyone faces tough times and it's better to focus on your "safe haven" during those times.

"Mamunia" was the first song recorded for Band on the Run in Lagos, Nigeria. Paul McCartney sings the lead vocals and plays guitar and bass, Denny Laine plays guitar and sings backing vocals, and Linda McCartney provides backing vocals as well. One of McCartney's roadies plays bass drum. Like "Bluebird," "Mamunia" is primarily acoustic. Music critic Robert Christgau described the song's intro as "Afro-soul." The song and the refrain are in the key of A major and the verses are in the key of C major. Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter describe the song as "so lightweight it'll float off" but note that it is "relentlessly melodic."
