Delilah was a song recorded by Queen on their 1991 album Innuendo. Although songwriting credits were credited to Queen, the song was actually composed by Freddie Mercury. Mercury, a cat lover, wrote the song about one of his cats named Delilah, a female tortoiseshell cat. It is the ninth track of the album, in between "These Are the Days of Our Lives" and "The Hitman".

The "meow" sound effects in the song were produced by guitarist Brian May by using a talk box. This song is the only recorded work to feature May using a talk box.
