Star 69 is the name of a band headed by Julie Daniels, who released a single full-length album and a number of EPs in the late 1990s, as well as providing "You Are Here" for the soundtrack to the movie Trojan War.
Star 69 refers to " Last Call Return," the Calling Feature Vertical service code *69 keyed on a landline telephone set in order to return the call of the last one to ring (in Canada and the United States).
Star 69 may also refer to:
- "Star 69" (song), a 1994 song by R.E.M. from their album Monster
- " Star 69 / Weapon of Choice", a 2001 single by Fatboy Slim from his album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars

"Star 69" is a song from the R.E.M. album Monster. It was not released as a single but still reached No. 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.
The song is named after the access number for the last-call return feature of telephones in North America, as indicated by its chorus:
"I know you called
I know you called
I know you hung up my line
Star 69"
Of all of the songs on Monster, "Star 69" is the one that evolved most from its initial demo. It started out at six minutes long before having its bridge excised and its original chorus discarded.
