"Heaven in My Hands" is a song by the British group Level 42. It was released as a single in 1988, from the album Staring at the Sun.

It reached number 12 in the UK charts upon release in 1988, and was the first single not to feature the Gould brothers, Boon and Phil, following their departure the previous year.

The music was adapted for the Croatian and Slovakian versions of the hit television game show Wheel of Fortune.

The instrumental introduction, heard on the extended 12" single version of the song, was heavily used by BBC Sport early in their coverage of the 1989 Wimbledon Championships.
