"Terminal" is the debut single of British-American singer-songwriter Rupert Holmes, released in 1974. The song is included on his 1974 debut album, Widescreen on Epic Records. The orchestrations on the recording were written and conducted by Holmes. The album was produced by Jeffrey Lesser.

Although it didn't chart in the US, "Terminal" is popular in the Philippines, and has subsequently been covered by Sharon Cuneta on the 2006 album Isn't It Romantic?,[1] and Piolo Pascual on the 2009 album Decades.

In Cuneta's version, its lyrics are delivered from a female point of view; the line "I had to get home to the kids and the wife" was changed to "I had to get back to the kids and my life".
