"Someone Wake Me Up" is a 2010 pop song by singer Joe McElderry. The single was released on 5 December 2010 as the third and final single from his debut album, Wide Awake. The single's B-side, "There's a Place for Us", was recorded for the soundtrack of the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The single peaked at #68 on the UK Singles Chart and #69 on the Irish Singles Chart, with sales of only 7,000 copies between them.

Jon O'Brien writing for allmusic compared "Someone Wake Me Up" to having a combination of the refrain of "Love Story" by Taylor Swift and the backing track of "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry. Darren Scott of Gay Times described it as a pop ballad unconventional to McElderry's norm, and noted similarities to Wham! Scott appreciated the song's catchy nature, as did David Griffiths of 4Music.OK! also praised the song, calling it "an epic lighters-aloft stunner".

McElderry performed "Someone Wake Me Up" for the first time at the annual Christmas Lights turn-on in Sheffield. He appeared on The Late Late Show, This Morning and The Alan Titchmarsh Show and Paul O'Grady Live to promote the single.
