"Getcha Back" is a song written by Mike Love and Terry Melcher for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1985 album The Beach Boys. It was the band's first release since the tragic drowning death of Dennis Wilson in 1983. The song peaked at number 26 nationally, and reached number two on the Adult Contemporary chart . "Getcha Back" recaptured the sound and feel of the Beach Boys' early hits.

The music video directed by Dominic Orlando, was filmed on location in Malibu and Venice, California. (1985). It featured a then-unknown Katherine Kelly Lang, who went on to play Brooke Logan on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
