"Sex Bomb" is a 1999 song recorded by Welsh pop music singer Tom Jones. Performed in collaboration with producer Mousse T., it was released around early 2000 and became the biggest single from the album Reload. It reached number three in the UK Singles Chart.

The "Peppermint Disco mix", a club version with house music beats, contains a sample from "All American Girls" by Sister Sledge. A jazzier "swing version" appears in Mousse T.'s solo album, Gourmet De Funk.

The song was used as the opening title music for the short-lived WB series Grosse Pointe. It was used in The Simpsons episode, "C.E. D'oh" (a series that Jones had earlier guest starred on in 1992).

The song has been covered by several artists, including Max Raabe.
