"Strawberry Fields Forever" je pop pjesma koju je 1966. napisao John Lennon i koja se tradicionalno pripisuje autorskom tandemu Lennon - McCartney, a koju je njihov bend The Beatles izdao kao singlicu početkom 1967. Originalno je bila zamišljena kao dio albuma Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, ali je umjesto toga izdana kao singlica, sa McCartneyevom pjesmom Penny Lane na B-strani, a naknadno uvrštena i na album Magical Mystery Tour. Ime je dobila prema liverpoolskom sirotištu Vojske spasa u čijem se vrtu Lennon s prijateljima igrao u djetinjstvu. Singlica je došla na prvo mjesto top-liste u SAD, ali ne i u Britaniji. Usprkos toga se često navodi kao jedan od najboljih primjera psihodeličnog rocka i najboljih pjesama u diskografiji Beatlesa. Slično kao i za Penny Lane, početkom 1967. je snimljen kratki promotivni film koji se smatra prvim primjerom modernog muzičkog video spota.
