List of songs about Hamburg

This list of songs about Hamburg is about songs dedicated to or involving the city, state and port of Hamburg, Germany.

Traditionally, Hamburg has been associated with a number of sea shanties, and Low German folk music and Schlager, added by Hamburger Schule rock and pop during the early 1980s, and alternative rock and hip hop during the early 1990s.
