"Storms in Africa" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Enya from her second studio album, Watermark (1988). A rearranged version with English lyrics called "Storms in Africa (Part II)" was included in some later pressings of Watermark and released as a single in May 1989 that reached number 41 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song was included on the soundtrack for the film Green Card (1990). For a time, the Australian airline Ansett Airlines used the song as its theme prior to its collapse in 2001.

Critical reception Ned Raggett from AllMusic noted that "Storms in Africa" uses drums from Chris Hughes "to add to the understated, evocative fire of the song, which certainly lives up to its name."
