Hurricane is a song recorded by Luke Combs for his debut studio album, This One's For You, which was released on June 2, 2017. This song was Combs's debut single, released through Columbia Nashville in 2016 after initially charting in 2015. The song compares an ex-girlfriend to a natural disaster.

"Hurricane" reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Its second week atop that position gave Combs two distinctions: the first artist to have a multi-week number one debut single chart since Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" in 2012 and the first male solo artist to accomplish that since Darius Rucker's "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" in 2008. It also peaked at numbers 3 and 31 on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 charts respectively. The song received a 3× Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and the song has sold 670,000 copies in the United States as of January 2018. It garnered similar chart success in Canada, reaching number 2 on the Canada Country chart and number 62 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart.

The song is about the narrator's unexpected encounter with a former lover, which he compares to damage done by a hurricane. Rolling Stone describes the song's arrangement as "an accidental combination of new school and Nineties-era country that freely mixes electronic beats".

Scott Moffatt of The Moffatts produced the song.
