"Girl Come Running" is a song recorded by The Four Seasons and released as a single in 1965. It was composed by group member Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe. Considered a "minor hit" for the group in context of their string of records reaching the upper levels of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, "Girl Come Running" peaked at #30 in July 1965.[2]

Billboard described the single as "powerful production and vocal performance on a good Bob Crewe teen ballad with a driving dance beat in strong support."[3] Cash Box described it as "one of the [Four Seasons'] most dynamic showings."[4]
