"Ring of Ice" is a 1984 song recorded by American singer-songwriter Jennifer Rush. It was the fourth single from her self-titled debut album in West Germany and the second single from the album in the United Kingdom.

A remix by Stereoact was released as a standalone single on December 16, 2022.[2]

In West Germany, the single was Rush's second to reach the top 30 of the singles chart, after "25 Lovers" earlier the same year. In the United Kingdom, the single was released in November 1985 following the success of "The Power of Love" and reached the top 20. The single was also Rush's second chart entry in Finland, where it entered in February 1986 and reached the top 20. "Ring of Ice" reached number 1 on the South African Springbok Radio chart and charted for 27 weeks. It was Rush's first entry on this chart, preceding the entry of "The Power of Love" by nearly four months.
