"Josie" is a song written and recorded by British singer-songwriter Donovan.

As Hickory Records did with "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond" and "To Try for the Sun" in the United States, Pye Records took an album track and released it as a single without Donovan's consent.

Pye chose the Fairytale album track "The Little Tin Soldier" for the b-side.

The "Josie" single became the first Donovan release to fail to chart in the United Kingdom, just as the "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond" and "To Try for the Sun" singles failed to chart in the United States.

Cash Box described it as a "pretty, sentimental ballad in a tradition-oriented folk vein.
