"When You Walk in the Room" is a song written and recorded by Jackie DeShannon, first released by her in 1963 but covered by many artists. The lyrics of the song attempt to detail the singer's emotions when in the presence of the person he or she loves. There is also an expression of frustration by the singer that he or she cannot manage to tell that person of his or her love.

DeShannon's original version was released as a single on November 23, 1963. as the B-Side to "Till You Say You'll Be Mine". It was later rereleased as a single A-side in September 1964, and later included on the album Breakin' It Up on the Beatles Tour. The single charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, peaking at #99.

The song was recorded by The Searchers in 1964. This version became an international hit, reaching #35 in the US and #3 in the UK.

Another early hit for Jackie DeShannon, "Needles and Pins", written by Jack Nitzche and a little known at the time songwriter from Detroit by the name of Sonny Bono, was covered by the Searchers also.

The Searchers' version of the song would be covered by The Young Veins.

Stephanie Winslow, is an American country music artist. Her version reached #29 on the U.S. country singles charts.

Paul Carrack's version, from his 1987 album One Good Reason, reached #90 in the U.S. and #48 in the UK.

In 1994, country music artist Pam Tillis recorded a version for her 1994 album Sweetheart's Dance. Tillis' version was released as a single, reaching a peak of #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. It was accompanied by a music video, featuring Dick Clark, and depicting Tillis in a mid-1960s appearance on American Bandstand.
