"A Song for You" is a 1970 song written and originally performed by rock singer-songwriter Leon Russell.

Donny Hathaway's 1971 recording is today considered one of his signature songs, even though the song was a cover and the single never made the Billboard charts. One of the few versions of the song that did make the charts was by Andy Williams, whose single peaked at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. "A Song for You" is also the title of the third track of Gram Parsons' album, GP. This is not the same song written by Leon Russell.
