Muhammad Ali is the eleventh single released by British dance band Faithless. It was released in the UK on 23 September 2001, and was the second single release from the group's third studio album Outrospective. The German release was a DualDisc containing an CD audio side and a DVD side. Muhammad Ali reached #29 in the UK singles chart.

The single is about one of Maxi Jazz's heroes and major influences Muhammad Ali, whom inspired Maxi to believe in himself and rise above racial taunts when he was younger.

Lyrics from Muhammad Ali:

You know what skinny little me started to struggle,
10 years old suddenly bold
Cause I resolved to live like my hero in the ring,
Be smart never give an inch,

One of the single covers contains a section of a picture from the Ali vs. Liston fight after Ali had knocked Liston to the floor.
