"Spiritwalker" is a single by the English rock band The Cult and was released on 4 April 1984. "Spiritwalker" is the lead single from the Dreamtime album, although it was released nearly five months before the album was released.

"Spiritwalker" was written while the group was still Death Cult. It was never recorded by the group but was integrated into their set list during their second United Kingdom tour in late 1983. The song, musically, was much different, but, lyrically, it was nearly the same as the final recorded version.

The song has its origins with Ian Astbury's earlier group, The Southern Death Cult. On 29 October 1981, at the group's second live performance ever, The Southern Death Cult played Queen's Hall in Bradford, England. During their set they performed an untitled song (later referred to as "The War Song") that featured many of the same lyrics as "Spiritwalker". The song was never performed by The Southern Death Cult again.

Apparently Astbury incorporated the lyrics of "The War Song" into the creation of "Spiritwalker" but no credit was ever given to the other members of The Southern Death Cult, and it is unknown whether they contributed to the writing of the original version.

The B-side of the seven-inch single is a radio session of "A Flower In The Desert" recorded while the group was still Death Cult. The song, an acoustic version, was recorded for the David Jensen show on BBC Radio One and was engineered by Dale Griffin. The song was first broadcast on 27 October 1983. The song "A Flower In The Desert" is a re-written version of "Flowers In The Forest" originally recorded by Astbury's earlier group The Southern Death Cult. Thus the song is credited as Astbury/Jepson/Burroughs/Qureshi (the members of The Southern Death Cult). The song, along with the entire radio session, was later released on the compact disc collection of Death Cult recordings entitled Ghost Dance.
