"The Seeker" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton.

A spiritual, which Parton described as her "talk with God", the song was released as a single in July 1975, just missing the top spot on the U.S. country singles chart; it peaked at #2.

Nelly Furtado covered this song for the film The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom.

[2] Merle Haggard who, in his 1981 autobiography, Sing Me Back Home, would confess his infatuation with Parton, also recorded the song.

The British band The New Seekers recorded a version of the song in 1976.
