"Don't Touch Me" is a song written by Hank Cochran. It was originally written for and recorded by American country artist Jeannie Seely. The song was released as a single on Monument Records in March 1966 and became a major Billboard country hit. "Don't Touch Me" became Seely's signature song and her biggest hit as a solo artist. It would later appear on her debut studio album and be re-recorded by Seely in later years.

"Don't Touch Me" has been covered by various artists, including country artist Wilma Burgess. Burgess's version was released shortly after Seely's recording. The song became a major hit for Burgess as well, but reached a lower position on the Billboard country chart than Seely's. Burgess's cover of "Don't Touch" appeared on her studio album of the same name. It was also recorded by American R&B artist Bettye Swann whose version charted on the Billboard pop and R&B singles charts. "Don't Touch Me" has since been recorded in different musical genres by other musical artists.
