"Here Come the Good Times" is a song by Irish indie rock band A House, released as a single from their 1994 album Wide-Eyed and Ignorant. It is the only single by A House to reach the UK charts, reaching number 40.

"Here Come the Good Times" was re-recorded by members of the Irish soccer squad, and various Irish celebrities and boy band members for use as the official Irish 2002 World Cup anthem. Proceeds went to charity, and €40,000 was raised for Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin in Dublin. This version of the song topped the Irish Singles Chart.

"Here Comes the Good Times" was included on A House's 2002 greatest hits album, The Way We Were.
