Twilight Zone is een nummer geschreven door George Kooymans. Het was eigenlijk bedoeld voor een soloalbum, maar werd onderdeel van het zestiende studioalbum Cut van Golden Earring uit 1982. Op 23 augustus van dat jaar werd het nummer wereldwijd op vinylsingle uitgebracht.

"Twilight Zone" is a song by Dutch band Golden Earring from their 16th studio album, Cut. It was written by the band's guitarist, George Kooymans, who drew inspiration from the spy thriller book The Bourne Identity rather than the 1960s mystery television series The Twilight Zone. It was the group's sole top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart.

Lead vocals are divided between Kooymans and Barry Hay. Each sings lead for one half of the first verse (first Kooymans, then Hay), and Hay sings lead for the second verse with backing by Kooymans and provides the spoken lines in the introduction and first verse. Kooymans sings lead on the choruses, backed by Hay.

In the 1990s, the song was included on a volume of Rhino Records' New Wave Hits of the '80s series. The music video was featured on Volume One of the VHS companion compilation.
