"Heaven Is" is a 1993 single by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their 1992 multi-platinum album Adrenalize. The single reached number 13 in the UK.

In a Joe Elliott statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection and Best of Def Leppard compilation albums, he referred this song's backing vocals on the chorus sounded much like The Beach Boys, and said that it was the first time Def Leppard went that far. He also referred this song as "More Queen than Queen".

Phil Collen on a statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection and Best of Def Leppard compilation albums, told that this song had been around for years and that parts of it were taken from the song "Armageddon It".
