"Honky Cat" is a song from the 1972 Elton John album Honky Château, the album's lead-off track.[1][2]

"Honky Cat" reached the Billboard top 10 when released as a single, reaching {{thinspace|No.| 31}} in the UK. The song fared better in the U.S., hitting {{thinspace|No.| 8}} just as John launched an American tour in September 1972.[3] The song remains a staple of "classic rock" radio.

A live version was released on the Here side of the Here and There live set in 1976 (and its expanded CD version in 1995), and a solo piano version appeared on the EltonJohn.com "Live in Madison Square Garden" Vol. 1 limited edition CD, recorded in October 1999.{{citation needed|date=June 2014}}

Lee Ann Womack covered the song on the 2018 tribute album Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
