"Hot Stuff" is a song written by Pete Bellotte, Harold Faltermeyer, and Keith Forsey, released as the lead single from American singer Donna Summer's seventh studio album, Bad Girls. The song was produced by English producer Pete Bellotte and Italian producer Giorgio Moroder, and it was released in 1979 through Casablanca Records. Up to that point, Summer had mainly been associated with disco songs but this song also showed a significant rock direction, including a guitar solo by ex-Doobie Brother and Steely Dan guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. It is the second of four songs by Summer to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2018, a remix by Ralphi Rosario and Erick Ibiza entitled "Hot Stuff 2018" went to number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart.
