"Cantaloupe Island" is a jazz standard composed by Herbie Hancock and recorded for his 1964 album Empyrean Isles during his early years as one of the members of Miles Davis' 1960s quintet. Hancock later recorded a version mixing reggae and jazz fusion of the track, as Cantelope Island, on his 1976 album Secrets. The track is featured in the Woody Allen's film Coup de chance released in 2023. The soundtrack of the 1994 computer game Transport Tycoon includes parts of Cantaloupe Island.
