La Lune a inspiré quantité de compositeurs de musique et d'auteurs de chansons. Parfois, l'astre lunaire est au coeur du propos, souvent la référence y est accessoire, presque accidentelle. D'autres chansons, enfin, ont un lien direct ou pas avec les premiers pas de l'homme sur la Lune. En voici quelques-unes.
