"Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" is a 1970 soul single by American soul musician Stevie Wonder, recorded for Motown's Tamla label. The song was a series of firsts for the 20-year-old Wonder: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" was the first single Wonder produced on his own, and was also the first to feature his female backup singing group Wonderlove.

The song was written by Wonder, his mother Lula Mae Hardaway, his then-wife (and Wonderlove member) Syreeta Wright, and Lee Garrett. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" peaked at number-three on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, and at number-one on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. Wonder, Hardaway, Wright, and Garrett were nominated for the 1970 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song as "Signed, Sealed, Delivered's" songwriters, marking Wonder's first Grammy nomination. The award went to Ronald Dunbar and General Johnson for writing the Clarence Carter song "Patches".

Wonder also recorded a remake with British boy band Blue. The song hit #1 in the UK charts.
