"Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" is a song written by Marvin Gaye, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, and first recorded by Gaye in 1962. Years later, Paul Young's version of the song was a UK No. 1 single for three weeks in July 1983. The song was also recorded by reggae singers Cornell Campbell and Sanchez and by 2006 American Idol winner Taylor Hicks on his self-titled album.

The Paul Young version is stylistically notable for its use of fretless bass, played by Pino Palladino. Though a major UK hit that broke Young as a star, the song fared less well on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 70, but was later used in the 1986 film Ruthless People and its accompanying soundtrack album.

The song title was parodied by the indie band Super Furry Animals with their 1999 song, 'Wherever I Lay My Phone (That's My Home)'.
