"Desert Rose" is a hit single by Sting from his album Brand New Day (1999). The song peaked at #17 in the US charts.

The song is noted for Sting's duet performance with Algerian Raï singer Cheb Mami, creating a distinct world music feel to the song. It also has a popular music video featuring Sting taking a trip through the desert in a Jaguar S-Type and then going to a nightclub to perform the song with Cheb Mami. After shooting the video, Sting's manager Miles Copeland III approached Jaguar about a collaboration, and the auto company featured the video in their prominent TV commercials during the year 2000.

Also included on the single releases were club remixes by Victor Calderone. One remixed version of the song was used in an alternate edit of the video, which included more sexually explicit footage.

The lyrics of the song are inspired by the Frank Herbert novel, Dune, possibly because Sting played the villainous Feyd Rautha in the 1984 film adaptation. Both film and book feature the Arabic language.

Desert Rose is the third track in American guitarist Eric Johnson's album Ah Via Musicom. Originally released in 1990, the song has become one of Johnson's most popular pieces. It was one of the album's four vocal numbers, the other three being "Nothing Can Keep Me from You", "High Landrons" and "Forty Mile Town". His other popular works include many instrumentals like "Cliffs of Dover", which won a Grammy Award, and is arguably his most famous piece.

Eric Johnson recorded the song in A flat major, in 4/4 time.
