The First Noel (also written The First Noël and The First Nowell) is a traditional classical English carol, most likely from the 18th century, although possibly earlier. The word Noel comes from the French word Noël meaning Christmas, from the Latin word natalis which translates as birthday".

In its current form, it is of Cornish origin, and it was first published in Carols Ancient and Modern (1823) and Gilbert and Sandys Carols (1833), both of which were edited by William Sandys and arranged, edited and with extra lyrics written by Davies Gilbert for Hymns and Carols of God. Today, it is usually performed in a four-part hymn arrangement by the English composer John Stainer, first published in his Carols, New and Old in 1871. Variations of its theme are included in Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony.

"The First Noel" has been recorded by various singers and bands: The Supremes, Elvis Presley, Crash Test Dummies, Eric Johnson, Charlotte Church, Anne Murray, Whitney Houston, Carrie Underwood, Tori Amos, Bob Dylan, The Fray, Susan Boyle, Annie Lennox, Mariah Carey, Zhang Liyin, Black Label Society, Scotty McCreery, Lady Antebellum, Melissa Benoist, Abandoned Pools.
