"'''Sinister Sundown'''" is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in the {{c|Kingdom Hearts|series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series}}. It is one of the battle themes of [[Twilight Town]].

"Sinister Sundown" is the battle theme of Twilight Town in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and that of [[The Other Twilight Town]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

"Sinister Sundown" is approximately fifty-five seconds long and plays at 156 beats per minute. It has a time signature of 4/4 throughout the entire piece and is written in the G Dorian mode. <!--same key signature as D minor but different tonic--> Like many field themes, "Sinister Sundown" lacks an introduction and conclusion, allowing for smooth transitions between loops. Each loop is thirty-six measures long. The instrumentation consists of violins, trombones, French horns, flutes, and cellos. The percussion section includes snare drum, timpani, tambourine, harp, piano, synthesizer, and xylophone.

In the PS2 version of ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', the track is looped four measures before its conclusion and the instruments are slightly different. This was remedied in the album recording for the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete]]'' and in subsequent re-releases as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]''.
