"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones released as a non-album single in 1968, which reached the number 1 position in the UK singles chart and US Cash Box Top Singles. Called "supernatural Delta blues by way of Swinging London" by Rolling Stone magazine, the song was seen as the band's return to their blues rock roots after the baroque pop and psychedelia heard on their preceding albums Aftermath (1966), Between the Buttons (1967) and especially Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967).

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" was ranked number 144 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list in 2021.
