"I'm Your Witchdoctor" is a 1965 single by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers composed by Mayall, produced by Jimmy Page, and issued on the Immediate label. The song was originally recorded at Decca's studios in West Hampstead for release on their own label. However, shortly before its intended release, Mayall lost his contract with Decca and so it was Immediate (at the suggestion of Page) who issued the 45.

It has been covered by Motörhead, Them, and Chants R&B.
