"Candy Rain" is a song by American R&B group Soul for Real, released in 1994 through Uptown and MCA Records. The song was written by Jean-Claude Olivier, Samuel Barnes, Heavy D, and Terri Robinson. It spent three weeks at No. 1 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart and peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and sold 800,000 copies.

The song's music video features Heavy D, who also remixed the track; this version samples the 1974 hit song "Mr. Magic" by Grover Washington Jr. The original bassline of "Candy Rain" samples from Minnie Riperton's "Baby, This Love I Have" from her 1975 album Adventures in Paradise.
