You're a Star is an Irish music competition series broadcast by RTÉ One from 2002 to 2008. Produced by the broadcaster and Screentime ShinAwiL, the series was similar to formats such as Idol and The X Factor.

For its first three series, You're a Star was used to choose the musician who would perform the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest. In later series, the grand prize was changed to a recording contract with Universal Music Ireland (with the Irish selection now conducted via the Eurosong qualifier, whose finals are hosted by The Late Late Show), and later music equipment and €50,000. The series was broadcast live from The Helix theatre in Dublin City University (DCU).

The show was cancelled after the 2008 series and replaced a year later with The All Ireland Talent Show.
