Parafifi is a song by Congolese musician Grand Kallé and his band African Jazz, first recorded in 1953 on a 78 rpm record released by the Opika label, then reissued in the early 1960s on the Surboum African Jazz label.

Today, it is considered one of the foundational works of modern Congolese rumba.
