"Fire" is a hit song by R&B/funk band The Ohio Players. The song was released from the album of the same name and peaked at the top of both the pop and soul charts. It spent one week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and five weeks at the top of the Hot Soul Singles chart in early 1975. The song is today considered one of their signature songs.

The song was recorded at Mercury Record's Chicago-based studio. While performing it in California, the band let Stevie Wonder hear the basic track for the song and he predicted that it would become a big hit. It is used as the theme song to the reality series Hell's Kitchen.
