"Golden Touch" is a song by Anglo-Swedish indie rock band Razorlight and is the eighth track on their 2004 debut album "Up All Night". It was also released as the lead single from that album in June 2004 and peaked at #9 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2004 in British music). In 2006 it came 87th in Q's 100 greatest songs ever.

The song borrows heavily from The Cure song "", particularly the rhythm and guitar riff.

The song is based on MTV2 and Queens of Noize DJ Mairead Nash with whom Johnny Borrell had a brief relationship. The song was featured in Pontiac television commercials in North America.
