"Dare Me" is a 1985 single released by The Pointer Sisters on the RCA label.

The song was the first release from the Pointers' platinum-selling Contact and became a worldwide hit, narrowly missing the top ten of the U.S. charts (peaking at number eleven), number six on the soul singles chart and was number one, for one week, on the dance chart. It was also a top twenty of the U.K. singles chart, peaking at number seventeen, and the top ten in several other countries.

The song was led by youngest sister June and was the group's only number one hit on the U.S. dance singles chart.

It was written by songwriters Sam Lorber ("No One Else on Earth" for Wynonna) and Dave Innis (keyboardist of the group Restless Heart) in Nashville in 1984.

There is a censored version, and an uncensored version of the music video. The video itself features two female wrestlers. In both versions, towards the end, both women make sexual motions. In the uncensored version, they pull off each other's bikinis while wrestling. They fondle each other, and dance naked until the song ends.
