"Tintarella di luna" (transl."Moon tan") is a song recorded by Italian singer Mina. It was written by Bruno De Filippi, at the time a member of the group I Campioni, and Franco Migliacci. The song became the first major hit for the singer, reaching number three in the Italian chart, and its sales exceeded 200,000 copies.

Later in 1960, the song was included on Mina's debut studio album of the same name. Mina also recorded a French version called "Un petit clair de lune".

"Tintarella di luna" was also performed in the 1960 musicarello titled Howlers in the Dock, in which Mina played herself.

The song "Mai", written by Arturo Casadei, Aldo Locatelli, Silvana Simoni, and Aldo Valleroni, was used as the B-side.
