"Headlock" is a song by English singer-songwriter Imogen Heap. It was released on 16 October 2006 through White Rabbit, a Sony BMG sublabel, as the third single from Heap's second studio album, Speak for Yourself (2005), following "Hide and Seek" and "Goodnight and Go". A rhythmic electropop song, it received critical praise upon its release.

The single initially debuted at number 74 on the UK Singles Chart in 2006, and, in 2025, peaked at number 30 on the chart and became her first song to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 after it went viral on TikTok due to its association with the video game Mouthwashing.
