"Flawless" is a song by American electronic music trio the Ones. It was first released in 1999 on the A Touch of Class label. It was re-released in 2001 and peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and reached number four on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. According to the Australian Recording Industry Association, the song was the most popular club hit in Australia during 2001. The song samples Gary's Gang's 1978 song "Keep On Dancin'" and "Wordy Rappinghood" by Tom Tom Club.

English singer-songwriter George Michael sampled "Flawless" for his song "Flawless (Go to the City)", which was released in June 2004. The song peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, one position lower than the original's peak.
