Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is a social simulation video game for the Nintendo GameCube developed by Marvelous Interactive.

For its European release by Rising Star Games, it was developed for the Wii console and eventually released on March 14, 2008. The Wii version adds motion-sensitive controls for actions such as fishing, mining and foraging but removes the option to play as a female character.
