"Whatever You Need" is a song by American recording artist Tina Turner. It was written by Russ Courtenay and Harriet Roberts, produced by Johnny Douglas, and released in 2000 as the second single from Turner's album Twenty Four Seven (1999).

Although less successful commercially than her previous release "When the Heartache Is Over," the song reached number 11 in Finland and number 27 on the UK Singles Chart. The CD singles released included live recordings of some of Turner's biggest hits from her 60th birthday celebration in London in November 1999 such as "The Best", "River Deep - Mountain High", "What's Love Got to Do with It" and "Steamy Windows", later released on the DVD Celebrate! - 60th Birthday Special.

The accompanying music video, directed by Jake Nava, features Turner walking through a tunnel in a leather jacket and jeans. She then sits on some steps singing and some teenagers stop what they are doing and sit with her, singing along.
