"Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" is a satire of the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?". It was released on October 11, 2005 in Canada on Vice Records by cast of rock artists and other performers under the name "North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative" (NAHPI). It reached number four on the Canada pop chart.

Like its inspiration, it is a charity song, with all proceeds being donated to UNICEF. According to the official press release, the song "stems from a frustration with other benefit songs' misguided, somewhat patronizing attitude, and Western-centric worldview."
