"White Horse" is a 1983 crossover post-disco single written by Tim Stahl and John Guldberg of the Danish synth-pop duo Laid Back. In the U.S., the single was most successful on the dance chart where it spent three weeks at number one.[1] The single also made the top five on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Erotic City" by Prince & the Revolution released in 1984 as the b-side of "Let's Go Crazy" is heavily indebted to "White Horse".

Monifah sampled "White Horse" in her 1998 single, "Touch It".
