"Delta Dawn" is a song written by musician Larry Collins and country songwriter Alex Harvey. The first notable recording of the song was in 1971 by American singer and actress Bette Midler for her debut album The Divine Miss M. However it is best known as a 1972 top ten country hit for Tanya Tucker and a 1973 US number one hit for Helen Reddy.

Though the song is attributed exclusively to Collins and Harvey, the melody of the chorus is virtually identical to the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace".
