"Havana" is the title of a 1997 single by jazz musician Kenny G. It was the second single taken from his 1996 studio album, "The Moment", which was released on Arista Records. The song was written and produced by Kenny G and Walter Afanasieff. As with virtually all of his songs, Kenny G plays the saxophone on this track. The music was arranged by Bill Ross.

The song peaked at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1997. More noteworthy, however, is the fact that the song was remixed by two well-known DJs, Todd Terry and Tony Moran. These mixes gave the song a completely different sound, with an electronic house music backdrop layered in with the original recording. These mixes were released to dance clubs on promotional 12" singles, and the remixed "Havana" went to #1 on "Billboard"'s Hot Dance Club Play chart in April of 1997. To date, this is Kenny's only #1 song on this chart.
