Moon River è un brano musicale composto da Johnny Mercer e Henry Mancini nel 1961. Fa parte della colonna sonora del film Colazione da Tiffany con Audrey Hepburn e ha vinto l'Oscar per la migliore canzone nell'edizione 1962.

Mercer e Mancini scrissero la canzone appositamente per la Hepburn in modo che fosse adatta alla sua estensione vocale. Moon River viene cantata dall'attrice nella scena in cui il personaggio interpretato da George Peppard, Paul "Fred" Varjak, scopre Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) che canta accompagnandosi con una chitarra alla finestra.

In origine, le parole iniziali scritte da Mercer erano "I'm Holly, like I want to be, like Holly on a tree back home. ...", ma in seguito vennero modificate e rese più adatte al tema del film.

La versione originale cantata da Audrey Hepburn non è inclusa nell'album della colonna sonora di Breakfast at Tiffany's; una versione registrata da Mancini e dal suo coro fu pubblicata come singolo ed entrò nella Top 40 in undicesima posizione nella classifica Billboard Hot 100 nel 1961 e vinse il Grammy Award alla registrazione dell'anno, il Grammy Award for Best Arrangement nel 1962 ed il Grammy Hall of Fame Award nel 1999.
