"Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer" is a World War II song with lyrics by Harold Adamson and music by Jimmy McHugh, published in 1943 by Robbins Music Corp. The song was recorded by the Song Spinners for Decca Records, reaching number one on the Billboard pop chart on July 2, 1943. "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer" was the only song with a war connection to appear in the top twenty best-selling songs of 1943 in the United States, bearing in mind that 1943 was affected by the first Petrillo recording ban.

The song became widely known in the Soviet Union in a 1943 adaptation by the popular singer and jazz band leader Leonid Utyosov, titled "Bombers". The translation of the lyrics into Russian is broadly accurate, but the term "prayer" is translated as "word of honor".
