"Cecilia" adalah lagu yang ditulis oleh Paul Simon. Lagu ini pertama kali direkam oleh Simon and Garfunkel untuk album Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970).
Lagu ini mencapai posisi ke-4 di tangga lagu Amerika Serikat dan gagal di Britania Raya, meskipun perilisannya mengekor hit nomor satu, "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
Menurut Paul Simon, "Cecilia" berasal dari nama St. Cecilia, orang suci pelindung musik[1] dalam agama Katolik. St. Cecilia juga disebutkan dalam lagu Paul Simon lain, "The Coast" (dari album tahun 1990 The Rhythm of the Saints): "A family of musicians took shelter for the night in the little harbor church of St. Cecilia."
