„On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City“ ist ein Lied aus dem Film „Three Little Girls in Blue" (1946). Es wurde von Josef Myrow (Musik, 1899–1977) und Mack Gordon (Text, 1905–1959) geschrieben. Im Film sangen es June Haver, Vivian Blaine und Vera-Ellen.
Das Lied beschreibt die unbeschwerte Sommerstimmung auf der Promenade in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Es feiert das Vergnügen am Strand, das Flanieren, Tanzen und Flirten unter den Lichtern und im Rhythmus der Wellen – mit einem Hauch von Romantik und Abenteuerlust.
Frank Sinatra sang „On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City“ 1946 zweimal mit The Pied Pipers in seiner Radiosendung „Songs by Sinatra”.
