Freestyler is a single by the Bomfunk MC's released in 2000. It topped the charts in many European countries, Australia and New Zealand, and peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, where it was the 23rd biggest-selling single of the year 2000.

The song was also featured in the video-game: Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2.

The song is also notable for slipping through an expletive through the censors - the line "So who the fuck is Alice, is she from Buckingham Palace?" (a reference to the Smokie song) was aired unedited on MTV.
