"Here, There and Everywhere" is a song attributed to John Lennon and Paul McCartney (though largely the work of McCartney), recorded for The Beatles album Revolver (1966).

The song is known for its bitter-sweet tune, a creative harmonic scheme, and subtle arrangement. Many have claimed it to be a landmark triumph of the soft rock genre. Critics allege that the song was inspired by the kind of material Brian Wilson crafted for the Beach Boys on the classic Pet Sounds album. The cheerful melody of the verses is counteracted by the more haunting minor modes of the bridge.

This track features one of McCartney's highest vocals; he said in his autobiography that he was actually trying to sing it in the style of Marianne Faithfull.

Noted performers who have covered "Here, There and Everywhere" include Emmylou Harris, Clay Aiken, and Céline Dion (for a George Martin/Beatles tribute album).
