"Twilight Zone" is a song by Dutch band Golden Earring from their 16th studio album, Cut. It was written by the band's guitarist, George Kooymans, who drew inspiration from the spy thriller book The Bourne Identity rather than the 1960s mystery television series The Twilight Zone.

Their music video received rotation from MTV and becomes their second international hit after Radar Love (1973) and also the group's only top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart.

In the 1990s, the song was later included on Rhino Records' New Wave Hits of the '80s series.
