"'I Heard Her Call My Name'" is a song by American rock band the Velvet Underground. It is the fifth track from the band's second album, 'White Light/White Heat'. It is a particularly loud, brash and aggressive song that features a pair of atonal guitar solos performed by Lou Reed and repeated use of high pitched feedback.

In an interview, guitarist Sterling Morrison said, "I quit the group for a couple of days because I thought they chose the wrong mix for 'I Heard Her Call My Name', one of our best songs that was completely ruined in the studio."
