"A Horse with No Name" er en sang af den amerikanske folkrocktrio America. Den er skrevet af Dewey Bunnell, og blev udgivet via Warner Bros. i slutningen af 1971 i Europa og begyndelsen af 1972 i USA. Det er blandt gruppens mest kendte og populære sange.
Songen blev en kommerciel succes og toppede hitlisterne i Canada, FInland og USA.[5] Den nåede tredjepladsen på UK singles chart. Den blev certificeret guld af Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on March 24, 1972.[6] Sangen blev hurtigt tilføjet til gruppens debutalbum, America (oprindeligt udgivet i januar 1972).
I 1987 udgav den danske rockgruppe D-A-D en coverversion af "A Horse with No Name" på deres andet studiealbum D.A.D. Draws a Circle. Den blev indspillet efter opfordring af deres producer og den er det eneste covernummer gruppen har indspillet.
