"Storm Warning" is the debut song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Hunter Hayes. It was released in May 2011 as the first single from his debut album Hunter Hayes. Hayes co-wrote the song with Gordie Sampson and busbee.

The song is about a woman whom the singer compares to a hurricane, singing that he wishes that he had a "storm warning" for her.

Amanda Hensel of Taste of Country gave the song an eight out of ten rating, describing it as "light and airy, upbeat and catchy, but easy for anyone to relate to" while adding that "it's inevitable that Hayes is about to take country music by storm." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song three stars out of five, writing that the song has a "clever enough lyric, magnetic melody and charisma to burn, both vocally and melodically." Storm Warning also picked up a Top 50 Song award during the 2012 BMI awards.

The music video was directed by Brian Lazzaro and premiered in April 2011. It features Hayes playing various instruments such as the guitar, drums, and banjo as he sings the song.

"Storm Warning" debuted at number 60 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of May 14, 2011. It also debuted at number 98 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of November 12, 2011.
