"Jimi Thing" is a song by the Dave Matthews Band, from their album "Under the Table and Dreaming". It failed to reach any noteworthy position on the charts, but it has grown into a popular live song played by the band. It was first played in 1991 and the total number of plays reached 800 on September 30, 2008. The song has featured many guest artists, including Warren Haynes, Trey Anastasio, and Dicky Betts.

Often, when the band plays this song live, they segue into a short portion of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth." This can be heard on a few of their live albums, such as "The Central Park Concert".

The name of the song may be derived from the main riff of the song being very similar in form to the Jimi Hendrix song "Spanish Castle Magic" and also sharing elements of "The Wind Cries Mary".
