"California" is a song by Canadian pop rock band Wave. It was released in April 2001 as the lead single from their debut album, Nothing As It Seems. In Canada, the song reached number one on the country's pop chart. It was also nominated for Best Single at the 2002 Juno Awards, losing to Nickelback's "How You Remind Me". "California" became the biggest song in the band's history, and they were unable to duplicate its success, making them a one-hit wonder.

In 2016, Canadian sibling duo Robyn and Ryleigh recorded a cover version of the song.
