"Hey Mr. DJ" is a song written by Van Morrison and recorded on his 2002 album, Down the Road. It was released as a single in the United Kingdom and charted at number fifty-eight. The single includes two Morrison compositions as the B-side; both have been included in the compilation album Still on Top - The Greatest Hits.

The Rolling Stone reviewer, David Fricke, said, "'Hey Mr. DJ' is a requiem for the one-on-one electricity of pre-Clear Channel radio, swinging with sweet brass and the iconic echo of Sam Cooke's 'Having a Party'."[1]
