"Farewell My Summer Love" is a song recorded by Michael Jackson in 1973. Written by Keni St. Lewis, it was later released in 1984 as a single from the compilation album Farewell My Summer Love due to the commercial interest that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1982 album Thriller.

It hit No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart and was a Top 40 Pop and R&B and Top 20 Adult Contemporary hit in the U.S.
