"Reggae OK" was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981, performed in Finnish by Riki Sorsa.

The song was performed eighth on the night (following Yugoslavia's Seid Memić "Vajta" with "Lejla" and preceding France's Jean Gabilou with "Humanahum"). At the close of voting, it had received 27 points, placing 16th in a field of 20.

The song is in praise of reggae music, with Sorsa singing that his listeners will "enjoy it until you die" and that "its sound is like a bomb". He even criticises those who say he listens to too much of it, calling them "jerks". Sorsa also recorded the song in English under the same title; "Reggae OK".

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1982 Contest by Kojo with "Nuku pommiin".
