"Light My Fire" is a song originally performed by The Doors on their self-titled first album, which was recorded in August 1966 and released in January 1967. It spent three weeks on the Billboard's Hot 100, and one week on the Cashbox Top 100. It was re-released in 1968, peaking at number 87. Its writing was credited to "The Doors": the first verse of the song was written by Robby Krieger and the second verse was written by Jim Morrison. A live version was released in 1983 on their album Alive, She Cried, the first of several live or compilation albums released in subsequent decades to include the song.

"Light My Fire" is a prime example of psychedelic rock and an early example of jazz fusion, with long, seemingly extemporaneous instrumental solos (in the album version) and some Eastern influences.

The song is #35 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included in the Songs of the Century list and was ranked number 7 in VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

José Feliciano's cover version won a 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, the same year he won another Grammy for Best New Artist.
