Beverly Hills Cop is the soundtrack to the 1984 action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop. It was released on MCA Records, successor-in-interest to Paramount's old record division, the Famous Music Group (specifically Paramount Records). The soundtrack was mastered by Greg Fulginiti and features various artists plus electronic style music. The instrumental title tune, "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, became a worldwide hit single and has since been covered by numerous artists. "The Heat Is On" by Glenn Frey was also a big international hit.

The soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 1986.[2] It hit #1 on the US Billboard 200 album chart in July 1985.
