"Wind It Up" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani, released as the lead single from her second solo studio album, The Sweet Escape (2006). Originally written for inclusion on Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Tour, the song was later recorded for the album.

Despite an unfavorable reception from most music critics, who criticized the song's use of yodeling and found the track to be over the top, the song was commercially successful, reaching the top 20 in many music markets. As it contains an interpolation of the song "The Lonely Goatherd" from the Trapp Family-inspired musical The Sound of Music, the track's accompanying music video, directed by Sophie Muller, takes influence from the musical.
