Whitney Dancin' Special is the first remix album by American singer Whitney Houston and was released exclusively in Japan on November 1, 1986, by Arista Records. It was manufactured and distributed by Nippon Phonogram during its original release, and by BMG Victor during its re-issue. It includes five remixed and one instrumental version of songs from her self-titled debut album.

It was later released in the US for the first time as part of Houston's 35th anniversary edition of her debut album. The box set included an alternate version of "You Give Good Love (Extended Dance Version)" with previously unreleased vocalizations. The version was later added as a seventh track to the digital version of the remix album.
