"Kraina mriy" (, ; "The Land of Dreams") is a song by the Ukrainian rock band Vopli Vidopliassova. Written in 1990, the song was first released on the band's album Hey, O.K that year by Kobza International, but did not gain popularity until its release on the album of the same name in 1994. Since then, it has become an anthem of sorts for VV fans, often closing their concerts. The song inspired the music festival of the same name in 2004.

In 1994, the song became the title track of the band's official debut album, released on SBA/Gala Records in Russia and by the band on cassette.
