"The Bitch Is Back" is a song by Elton John, written with Bernie Taupin. It was the second single released from his 1974 album Caribou. It is a pop song with a jazzy flavor.

The song was twice recorded by Tina Turner: for her "Rough" album in 1978 and again for the John/Taupin tribute album Two Rooms in 1991. Turner also performed the song in her live show in the late 1970s, and with Elton John at the VH1 Fashion and Music Awards 1995 and VH1 Divas Live '99.

The song was inspired not by John or Taupin directly, but rather by Bernie Taupin's wife of the time. When discussing the Caribou album, Elton John threw one of his legendary tantrums. This lead to Taupin's wife to claim "the bitch is back". Taupin then wrote the lyric.
