"I Remember Yesterday" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer released from her very successful 1977 album. Upon its release as a single it became a hit in Europe, reaching #14 in the UK and #20 in the Netherlands.[1][2] The album also contained a reprise of the track (which in some nations was found on the B-side of the 7" single).

A Lithuanian rendering entitled "Aš Prisimenu Vakarykščią Dieną" was recorded in 1982 by Janina Miščiukaitė (lt). In 2018, the song was included in the Broadway musical Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
