"Sing, Sweet Nightingale" is a song featured in the 1950 Disney animated feature film Cinderella. It is sung by Cinderella, Drizella, and Lady Tremaine. Anastasia plays the flute during it. At first, it is being warbled off key by Drizella during her music lesson. A distressed Lucifer leaves the room only to hear Cinderella's lovely voice singing along while she scrubs the floors of the château's entrance hall. The song ended when Anastasia gets her finger stuck on her flute and accidentally hits Drizella in the chin repeatedly while trying to get her finger unstuck from her flute. Drizella then calls her sister clumsy and hits her on the head with her flute until Lady Tremaine breaks their fight.

On the Disney's Greatest Lullabies: Volume 1 VHS, the song is set to clips from Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Wynken, Blynken and Nod, The Rescuers, Dumbo, Peter Pan, and Fantasia.
