"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" is a song by American pop singer Cyndi Lauper, released on May 6, 1985, from the soundtrack album The Goonies: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1985), released in support of the 1985 film of the same name. Written by Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, and Arthur Stead in 1984, it was initially titled simply as "Good Enough"; the track was re-titled to "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" by Warner Bros. for marketing purposes. Lauper admitted in an interview that she hated the song.

The track was a chart success, albeit slightly less successful than the singles from her debut studio album She's So Unusual (1983). It peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming her fifth top-ten single. Internationally, the track peaked within the top-ten in Australia and Canada. It was not found on Lauper's major 1994 greatest hits collection Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some, but was included on the release of The Essential Cyndi Lauper in 2003.

"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" was supported with a two-part music video directed by Richard Donner.
