White Women is the fourth studio album by Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo, released on May 12, 2014 by Last Gang Records. The album features contributions from Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Toro y Moi, Solange Knowles, LCD Soundsystem's Pat Mahoney, and Fool's Gold duo Oliver.

Upon its release, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. White Women entered the Canadian Albums Chart at number six with first-week sales of 3,500 copies. It also debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, selling 16,000 copies in its first week, and became the duo's first album to chart in the United Kingdom, debuting at number 42 on the UK Albums Chart with 1,940 copies sold. The album has spawned five singles: "Over Your Shoulder", "Sexy Socialite", "Come Alive", "Jealous (I Ain't with It)", and "Old 45's".

White Women was announced on September 9, 2013, along with a Jérémie Rozan-directed teaser featuring the song "Over Your Shoulder". The following night, Chromeo performed at Boiler Room in New York City, debuting new music. Chromeo described the album as "Larry David funk", which singer Dave "Dave 1" Macklovitch defined as "a combination of sexy, funky, macho music with neurotically love-torn lyrics". Macklovitch stated that the duo aimed to "take it back to the real careless dance party vibes", in contrast to their previous album, Business Casual (2010), which he said was "a little more serious and moody". "There's more guitar, there's more bass, there are string arrangements; it feels more alive to me", Macklovitch said.
