"Sleep Little Girl" is the debut single by the Swedish rock band Tages. It was written by Tommy Blom and released on 16 October 1964.[2] The initial recording was made at a Youth center at Nylöse, a neighborhood of Gothenburg, Sweden's second biggest city, and the song has professionally been re-recorded in a studio twice.

The song became a hit upon release, reaching number one on Tio i Topp and number two on Kvällstoppen, and one of the re-recorded renditions was later included on their debut album Tages. "Sleep Little Girl" became one of Tages's biggest hits, and is, along with "Miss Mac Baren", considered to be their signature song.[3]
