"Super Trouper" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, recorded for their seventh studio album of the same name, Super Trouper (1980). It was the last song recorded for the album, and was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Anni-Frid Lyngstad sang lead vocals. It was released on 3 November 1980 as the second single from the record via Polar Music. The song's name refers to the Super Trouper, a type of spotlight used in large venues.

"Super Trouper" would go on to become one of the group's best selling singles, and a smash hit across Europe. In the United Kingdom, it was ABBA's ninth and final number one hit on the UK singles chart, and was the fourth best-selling single in the UK that year, selling over 700,000 copies. The single also reached the top spot in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and West Germany. It proved less successful, however, in Australia and North America, only reaching the top forty in Canada.

It is featured on ABBA Gold (1992), and is also included in both the Mamma Mia! musical and Mamma Mia! film.
