"Mustang Sally" is a rhythm and blues song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version that was also released on the 1966 album "The Wicked Pickett". In 2000, the Wilson Pickett version of "Mustang Sally' on Atlantic Records was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The song featured prominently in the 1991 film The Commitments and appears on the film's soundtrack album, sung by Andrew Strong.

When astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman in space on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983, many in the crowd attending the launch wore T-shirts printed with a play on the lyric, "Ride, Sally Ride".
