"Call Me Lightning" is a song written by Pete Townshend, guitarist of the English rock band the Who.

The Who's recording was a single released in March 1968 and it later appeared on the Who's fourth American album Magic Bus: The Who on Tour.

In the United States "Call Me Lightning" was the follow-up single to the Top 10 hit "I Can See for Miles" and reached No.

"[5] Cash Box called it "an imaginative blend of rock-blues and rag" and praised "the potent group performance.

[1] "Call Me Lightning" received a mediocre reception from Who fans, and biographer John Atkins feels that "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was a better song, even though its horror film imagery was unsuitable for a single.
