The Celts is a song by the Irish musician Enya, from her 1987 album Enya.

Sung entirely in Irish, it was the theme song to the 1986 BBC documentary The Celts.

The video of the song was filmed at Bodiam Castle. The B-side of the single, "Eclipse", is the song "Deireadh An Tuath" (found on The Celts album), played backwards.

When the album was re-issued in 1992 and re-titled The Celts, the title song was released as the accompanying single, peaking at #29 in the UK.

British EDM artist Jimmy Rotten used a sample of the song in his 2013 track "Get Over You".
