"Durch den Monsun" (English: Through the Monsoon) and "Monsoon" are songs by German rock band Tokio Hotel. The German version of the song "Durch den Monsun" was released as their debut single in 2005 from their debut album Schrei. A remix of this song was made with Japanese lyrics, and an English version named "Monsoon" was later recorded, and included in their first English album Scream and released as their first English single in 2007.

Tokio Hotel released "Monsoon" - their first English-language single - in Europe on 18 May 2007. The vocals and melodies in "Monsoon" are one semitone lower than its German counterpart - most likely due to the age at which Bill Kaulitz, the vocalist, recorded the German version. "Monsoon" also appears in the music video game Guitar Hero: World Tour and the European versions of the games Guitar Hero: On Tour and Rock Band.

The song was performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 in Munich Germany.

"Durch den Monsun" was named "Best song 2005" at the Austrian Golden Penguin Awards and was also nominated as "Best Single International" at the Amadeus Awards in 2006. In 2007, "Durch den Monsun" was voted "Single of the Year" at the Golden Penguin Awards in Austria while Monsoon won in the category "Best Video" at the TMF Awards in Belgium. In the following year Monsoon claimed the titles "Best Ringtone" and "Song of the Year" at Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2008, "Number 1 of the Year" at TRL Awards (Italy), and was also named "Best Mood Song" and "Song that Stays in your Head" by a Dutch magazine, Hitkrant.
