Nutbush City Limits is een soulnummer van Ike & Tina Turner dat als single voor het eerst werd uitgebracht in 1973. Het is afkomstig van hun album Nutbush City Limits. De B-kant was Help him.

"Nutbush City Limits" is a semi-autobiographical song written by American singer and actress Tina Turner which commemorates her rural hometown of Nutbush in Haywood County, Tennessee, United States. Originally released as a single on United Artists Records in August 1973, it is one of the last hits that husband-wife R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner released together.

In the years since, "Nutbush City Limits" has been performed by popular artists such as Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band or the Alvin Lee band in their album RX5. Besides, Turner herself has re-recorded several different versions of the song.

As an unincorporated rural community, Nutbush does not have geographical city limits; rather, its general boundaries are indicated by signs reading "Nutbush, Unincorporated" which are posted on the local highway (Tennessee State Route 19).

A line dance to the song, called the "Nutbush", created in the mid-1970s as a teaching aid in Australia, has seen sustained popularity in that country, and later gained viral popularity internationally through TikTok.
