"Hungry for Heaven" is the seventh single released by heavy metal band Dio. It was the second single from their 1985 LP Sacred Heart, although it was originally written for the movie Vision Quest, appearing both in the film and on the associated soundtrack album.

Many different versions of the single exist; the original UK release had the B-side songs "King of Rock and Roll" and a live version of "Like the Beat of a Heart". An international version, however, had live versions of the songs "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark" on the B-side, with a different sleeve design.{{cite web |url=http://www.dio.net/biography/discography/Dio_May1983-Mar1986_12.html |title=Tapio's Ronnie James Dio Pages: Dio 12" Single Discography, May 1983-March 1986 |author=Tapio Keihänen |publisher=Dio.net |accessdate=2007-03-08}} The Australian release featured "The Last in Line" on the B-side.{{cite web |url=http://www.dio.net/biography/discography/Dio_May1983-Mar1986_7.html |title=Tapio's Ronnie James Dio Pages: Dio 7" Single Discography, May 1983-March 1986 |author=Tapio Keihänen |publisher=Dio.net |accessdate=2007-03-08}}

The single peaked at #30 on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart. A different version of this song also made an appearance in the 1985 movie Vision Quest.

The song's main guitar riff was heavily inspired by The Who's song "Baba O'Riley".

In the music video, Ronnie James Dio makes this introduction speech: "Greetings my children, come with me now and discover the magic that lies beyond the sea of dreams, and if you have the courage to cross the rainbow bridge, you may find the Sacred Heart"
