"Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" is a song written by Enrique Garcia and Gloria Estefan, and released by Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine in 1987 as the lead single from the album Let it Loose (and the European version of the album Anything for You).

It was their fourth Top 10 (and second Top 5) single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number five. In the UK it took longer for the single to become a hit. First released in June 1987 as the first single from Let It Loose, the song failed to chart; a reissue came in February 1988 after the song featured in Stakeout, and once again the song failed to chart. However, after the success of the following singles, a third reissue in December 1988 just before Christmas made the song a hit. The song finally peaked at #16 in January 1989.

It was sampled in a 1989 Bollywood film, Tridev in the song "Oye Oye".
