Sweet Transvestite is the fifth song in the 1973 cult musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show. However, it is the fourth song in the stage version, The Rocky Horror Show, preceding The Time Warp. It is performed mainly by Frank 'N' Furter (Tim Curry), with minor spoken parts by Brad (Barry Bostwick), Janet (Susan Sarandon), Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien), Columbia (Nell Campbell) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn).

In the film, this song is sung at Frank's first appearance in the movie. He starts wearing a long black cloak that obscures most of his body except his head and part of his 6-inch high heels. At the first chorus, he takes off the cloak to reveal his transvestial attire.

The last verse of the song (beginning 'So - come up to the lab,') is spoken. It ends with Frank standing in a rising elevator, and the Transylvanians (people from Frank's home planet) clapping and cheering.
