"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is a song by British rock and roll band the Rolling Stones from their 1971 album "Sticky Fingers".

Running seven minutes and fifteen seconds, the song begins with a guitar intro that both Keith Richards and Mick Taylor contributed to, evolving into a rhythm riff played by Richards. Mick Jagger sings the lyrics. At two minutes and forty-three seconds, an instrumental break begins, with Rocky Dijon on congas; saxophonist Bobby Keys performs an extended solo over the layered guitar work of Richards and Taylor. Taylor then takes over from Keys and carries the song to its finish with a lengthy guitar solo.cite web |last =McPherson |first=Ian |title=Track Talk: Can't You Hear Me Knocking |url=http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOCantYouHear.html |accessdate=2008-08-24 | ]

The number was part of the Rolling Stones' concert repertoire during their Licks Tour in 2002-2003 and A Bigger Bang Tour in 2005-2007; in these renditions, Jagger played a harmonica solo after Keys' sax solo, and Ronnie Wood performed the extended guitar solo. A live recording was released on the band's 2003 DVD set "Four Flicks" and on the 2004 concert album "Live Licks".

A shortened version of the studio track (without the saxophone solo) is featured in "Guitar Hero II". The number has also been featured in the soundtracks of the films "Blow" and "Casino".

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed it at #25 on its list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time."
