"Romance no Kamisama" (ロマンスの神様, Romansu no Kamisama) is the third single by Japanese pop singer-songwriter Kohmi Hirose. Originally released on December 1, 1993, the song, translated as "The Cupid of Romance", is Hirose's most successful to date, selling over one million copies in Japan. It was also the first of Hirose's songs to be used by the Alpen company, a Japanese winter sports store, in their winter advertisements, resulting in the Japanese public affectionately calling her the "Queen of Winter" (冬の女王, Fuyu no Joō).

While on the Oricon charts for 21 weeks, the song hit number 1 for the week of December 27, 1993, its third week on the charts, selling 138,670 copies. "Romance no Kamisama" remained in the number one spot through the week of January 17, 1994, before losing the spot to Dreams Come True's "Winter Song" for a week before returning to number 1 on January 31, 1994. The Oricon also recognized it as the number 1 song of January 1994, the number 1 song for the first half of 1994, and the number 2 song for the whole of 1994, just behind Mr. Children's "Innocent World".

"Romance no Kamisama" ultimately sold 1.75 million copies. In an October 16, 2010, Ustream.tv recording of her Hirose Kohmi Radio de Follow Me radio show (later broadcast by JOLF on October 21), Hirose stated that before the song was released the Victor Entertainment president jokingly promised that if the single sold a million copies, he would take the entire recording staff to Disney World in Florida. Once it sold 1.7 million copies, the president followed through on his promise and sent 10 staff members to Florida for nine days.
