"'Suck My Kiss'" is a song by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was released as the third single from their fifth studio album, 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. "Suck My Kiss" was released as an airplay single in the United States in 1991 and as a physical single in Australia and New Zealand the following year, reaching the top 10 in the two latter countries and peaking at number 15 on the US 'Billboard' Modern Rock Tracks chart.

A music video, released on May 1, 1992, was made for the song using footage from the 'Funky Monks' documentary directed by Gavin Bowden. It also featured shots in shades of red of the American army returning from the Gulf War, revealed by Anthony Kiedis on the audio commentary in the band 'Greatest Videos' compilation. The song was included on the band's 'Greatest Hits' compilation.

The song was voted number five in a 'Rolling Stone' readers' poll on Red Hot Chili Peppers songs.

The song appears in episodes of 'Beavis and Butt-head' and 'Hindsight', as well as the video games 'Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock' and 'NBA 2K15' "Yakkem Trailer" and the latter's soundtrack album. Along with the rest of the 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' album, the song was formerly a downloadable track in the 'Rock Band' series. A remixed instrumental based on the song is often used as royalty free production music.

A line was used in the Japanese TV show 'Tamori Club', in a segment called "Soramimi Hour", in which non-Japanese songs are interpreted into Japanese, according to phonetics. The line "Should have been, could have been, would have been..." from the first verse was interpreted as (Shiro ben, kuro ben, Wada Ben'), which translates to: "White excrement, black excrement, Ben Wada").

The song was covered by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine on his 2000 album, 'Lounge Against the Machine'.
