"Flash Light" is a song by funk band Parliament, written by George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and Bootsy Collins and released on January 28, 1978, on the album Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome.

[3][2] "Flash Light" (also called "Flashlight") is the final song on Parliament’s 1977 album Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome.

The song finishes the album’s story of the group’s quest to defeat the evil Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk, coercing him to dance.

[7] The New York Times described Worrell's synthesized bass as a "descending and ascending chromatic line with a meaty tone and a certain swagger, an approach that would spread through funk, new wave, electro, synth-pop and countless other iterations.

Starting out as a jam, Clinton recorded multiple tracks, layering up to 50 voices within the theme of an inclusive love song.

[10] The Houston Press ranked "Flash Light" as Clinton's most sampled song, finding more than 60 uses, including on Aaliyah's "Back and Forth" and UGK's "Protect and Serve".

Clinton recorded a duet version of the song called "Flashlight (Spaceflight)" for the 1999 film Muppets from Space along with Bill Barretta as Pepe the King Prawn.
