"Oliver Twist" is a song by Nigerian singer-songwriter D'banj. The track was first released on 12 August 2011 in Nigeria by Mo' Hits Records and then released in the United Kingdom by Mercury Records on 11 May 2012, as the first single from the DB Records compilation album, D'Kings Men (2013) and D'banj's fourth studio album King Don Come (2017). For the chart week dated 26 May, "Oliver Twist" debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart—marking the musician's first chart appearance and first Nigerian song to ever debut on the chart. Lyrically, the song expresses D'banj's crave for more women, relating to how the fictional character Oliver Twist asked for more gruel. In August 2025, Billboard magazine ranked "Oliver Twist" number 7 on their list of the 50 Best Afrobeats Songs of All Time.
