"Santa Monica" is a song by Australian pop duo Savage Garden, released exclusively as a single in Japan, and taken from their self-titled debut album.

As an ode to the city of the same name in California, the song partly talks of Darren Hayes' experiences and observations.

The lyrics of the chorus also make reference to novelist Norman Mailer.

The live version of "Santa Monica" that appears on the single was recorded for an episode of the programme Hard Rock Live that originally aired in the United States on VH1 on 21 August 1998.

The music video for the song was promoted alongside the single's release in Japan, which features footage from the Hard Rock Cafe performance of the song.
