"4th of July" is a song written by Dennis Wilson and Jack Rieley for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was recorded for the band's 1971 allbum "Surf's Up" but was not released until 1993, on the box set "".

The song was written in 1970 as a veiled comment on the alleged suppression of the NY Times by the US government. Originally intended for the 1971 Surf's Up album, it was pulled by Dennis after an argument with brother Carl over sequencing the album.
