"Red Wine Supernova" is a song by American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan. It was released in May 2023 as the eighth single from Roan's debut studio album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The song began charting in April 2024, following the success of "Good Luck, Babe!".

About the song, Roan said, "I needed a campy gay girl song that captured the magic of having feelings for another girl. I packed the song with fun raunchy lyrics that make it feel like a night out flirting with the girl across the bar."[2][3] Roan has referred to the song as "the gay girl version" of "Champagne Supernova" by Oasis.[4]

In an interview with Australian radio station Joy 94.9, Roan said the song took three years to complete and called it "the ultimate silly pop".[5]
