Walking in Memphis è un brano scritto e interpretato da Marc Cohn, contenuto nell'album eponimo pubblicato nel 1991. Si tratta del debutto discografico per il cantautore dell'Ohio ed è il frutto del fortunato incontro con il produttore dell'Atlantic Records Ben Wisch, dopo una gavetta come membro dei Supreme Court. La canzone è la traccia d'apertura dell'album nonché il primo singolo estratto; racconta di una sua esperienza a Memphis sulle tracce della musica di Elvis e Al Green.
