"Slow Twistin'" is a song written by Jon Sheldon, and recorded by American rock and roll musicians Chubby Checker and Dee Dee Sharp (the latter being uncredited on the single and early albums). Released as a single in 1962, it peaked at number 3 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B singles chart. In Canada it reached number 18.

The song was covered by The Marvelettes (as "Slow Twist") on their 1962 album The Marvelettes Sing (aka Smash Hits of '62).

A different version of Slow Twistin’, with lead vocals by Dee Dee Sharp and featuring Chubby Checker, and with different lyrics, appeared on Dee Dee Sharp’s 1962 LP It’s Mashed Potato Time.
