"Tiger Feet" is a popular song by the English glam rock band Mud, released in January 1974. Written and produced by the songwriting team of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. It was the band's first number No. 1 single in the UK Singles Chart.

"Tiger Feet" was a huge success, it was number No. 1 in the UK and Ireland charts for four weeks in 1974 and also topped the charts in the Netherlands. It sold over 700,000 copies in the UK alone and over a million sales globally. It was also the best selling single in Britain that year.

The single was released on the 7 inch vinyl record format by the RAK music label. The B-side of the single is titled "Mr Bagatelle".

"Tiger Feet" was featured as part of a medley on Mud's album Mud Rock, which reached number No. 8 in the UK Albums Chart.

Co-writer and producer Mike Chapman credited bassist Ray Stiles with a particularly memorable bass lick which helped fuel the success of the record.

All-female band Girlschool later covered the song on their 1986 album Nightmare at Maple Cross.
