"'''Time to Change'''" is a 1972 [[bubblegum pop]] song from the television sitcom ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'' performed by The Brady Bunch Kids (composed of the children of the fictional Brady family). The song and another Brady Bunch Kids song, "We Can Make the World a Whole Lot Brighter", were featured in ''The Brady Bunch'' episode "[[List_of_The_Brady_Bunch_episodes#Season_3_(1971–72)|Dough Re Mi]]" which aired on January 14, 1972.

Written by Raymond Bloodworth, Billy Meshel and Chris Welch, "Time to Change" features solos by [[Barry Williams (actor)|Barry Williams]] and [[Maureen McCormick]], who portrayed the Brady's eldest children Greg and Marcia, respectively, on the TV series. The songs featured in this episode marked the on-screen singing debut of Marcia and Bobby ([[Mike Lookinland]]). 

Within the context of the series, "Time to Change" was devised as a way to incorporate Peter Brady, whose voice started changing due to puberty. The second verse of the song explicitly refers to growing from a child into an adult. The televised version includes an off-key gag line from Peter in the chorus, which was not included on the commercially released single.

"Time to Change" was also featured in ''[[The Brady Kids]]'' episode "Jungle Bungle: Part 2" which aired on September 16, 1972.
