字母歌(alphabet song),又稱A-B-C歌,是世界上多個採用拉丁字母作書寫文字的國家所通用的學習字母工作。這首歌通常都會在幼兒園幼稚園時教授,甚或當小朋友還在家裡時,他們的家長已經開始教他們唱這首歌。這首歌的旋律來自法國民謠«Ah! Vous Dirais-je, Maman»,但更廣為人知的歌名《小星小星我問你》或《一閃一閃小星星》(“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”),與及莫扎特為這首歌創作的鋼琴變奏曲(k.265)。

起源

字母歌起源難以確切緣由。通常會追溯至1834年,美國波士頓音樂人查爾斯·布拉德利(Charles Bradlee)的《The Schoolmaster》。[1]
