"Bootylicious" is a song by American group Destiny's Child for their third studio album Survivor (2001). It was written and produced by Falonte Moore, Beyoncé, and Rob Fusari. The song contains a prominent sample from Stevie Nicks' song "Edge of Seventeen". It was released as the second single from Survivor on May 22, 2001, by Columbia Records.

"Bootylicious" was a commercial success, becoming the group's fourth and final US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. It also reached the top five in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A Rockwilder remix of the song featured Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and appeared on the soundtrack of the 2001 musical Carmen: A Hip Hopera and the group's remix album This Is the Remix (2002).

Although the term "bootylicious" had already been used by rapper Snoop Dogg in Dr. Dre's song "Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')" (1992), the popularity of "Bootylicious" caused the slang word to become widespread, being added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2004 under the definition "(of a woman) sexually attractive".
