"Valotte" is a song by British singer Julian Lennon, the title track and second single (first single in the US) from his debut album Valotte. It was a top-ten single in January 1985 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 9.

It was co-written by Lennon, Justin Clayton and Carlton Morales and recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The first line of the chorus, "Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar", was written by Lennon, inspired by the Tennessee River in Muscle Shoals. There are other references to the Tennessee Valley in the lyrics.

B-side "Bebop" has been described by Lennon as "almost like a Soul Jackson song".

The music video for the song was directed by Sam Peckinpah, and produced by Martin Lewis.
