Spanish Stroll is a 1977 single by Mink DeVille, off their debut album Cabretta. It features a spoken word section by bassist Rubén Sigüenza during the break ("¡Hey Rosita! ¿Dónde vas con mi carro, Rosita? Tú sabes que te quiero, pero tú me quitas todo"), adding a Latin flavor to it.

Spanish Stroll reached #20 on the UK Singles Chart; it was to be DeVille's only record ever to chart in the UK. In addition, the song went to #3 in the Netherlands and #25 in New Zealand.

In 2007, the song was featured in the American drama film In the Land of Women.

In 2016, the song was featured in the made for Netflix film Special Correspondents.
