"Wasn't It Good" is a song by Tina Arena from her 1994 album Don't Ask. Arena co-wrote the song along with Heather Field and Robert Parde, and it was produced by David Tyson. The song peaked at number 11 in Australia and received four nominations at the prestigious ARIA Awards in 1996. Upon release as a single, the title was rendered with an ellipsis ("Wasn't It Good...").

Arena has performed the song on most tours, including her 2004 Greatest Hits tour and 2012 Australian tour. It is track four on her 2004 Greatest Hits compilation.

"Wasn't It Good" was composed in the key of G, while the lyrics lament a past friendship that did not turn into a romantic relationship.

A five-track single was released through Columbia Records; it contained both the single edit and original album version of "Wasn't It Good", as well as live versions of three other tracks from Don't Ask.

"Wasn't It Good" was released on 25 September and debuted at #42 on the ARIA singles chart, eventually peaking at #11 on 19 November 1995.
