"I'm Not Scared" is a song by British pop band Eighth Wonder, released in February 1988 by CBS Records International as the first single from their debut album, Fearless (1988). The song achieved success in Europe, peaking at number seven on the UK Singles Chart, reaching number one in Italy, and entering the top five in Finland, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland and West Germany.

Written by the Pet Shop Boys, the original version of "I'm Not Scared" contains several words in French. "J'ai pas peur" is the French adaptation of "I'm Not Scared" and is included as the B-side to the 7-inch and 12-inch singles. The 12-inch "disco mix" combines the two versions into one long mix. Pet Shop Boys also released their own version of the song, with Neil Tennant vocals, on the album Introspective.
