Waterloo é uma música da banda sueca ABBA, que venceu o Festival Eurovisão da Canção de 1974. A canção marca um ponto de viragem na carreira da banda, representando seu primeiro sucesso internacional e levando-os ao estrelato. A música foi inspirada pela batalha de Waterloo, fazendo uma analogia entre a batalha homônima, onde Napoleão Bonaparte foi derrotado, e os sentimentos de uma pessoa rendendo-se a outra no amor.
