"Weißt du, wie viel Sternlein stehen" (German for "Do you know how many stars there are?") is a German lullaby and popular evening song. The lyrics were written by the Protestant pastor and poet Wilhelm Hey (1789–1854), who published them first in 1837. The melody is recorded back to 1818. A poetic English translation of the first and third verse is by Henry William Dulcken (1832–1894).

The song was incorporated in the Evangelisches Gesangbuch (Nr. 511) in the section "Natur und Jahreszeiten" (German for "nature and seasons") .
