El Jitterbug es un baile estadounidense muy popular en las décadas de 1930 y 1940, bailado con gran energía y acrobacias al ritmo de las Big bands.
Se considera un sub-estilo del Swing, encuadrándolo dentro del Lindy Hop.
El grupo Wham! dio un nuevo golpe de popularidad al término con su hit #1 de 1984, "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go".
