"Come See About Me" is a 1964 number-one hit song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label, the third of five Supremes songs in a row to go number one (the others are "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby Love," "Stop! In the Name of Love," and "Back in My Arms Again").

Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, it was the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for two separate weeks: December 13, 1964 to December 18, 1964, and January 10, 1965 to January 16, 1965, and reached the number three position on the soul chart. The group made their first of 17 appearances live on the popular CBS variety program The Ed Sullivan Showperforming this single on Sunday, December 27, 1964.

In 1967, the song was repeat hit for a Motown act Jr. Walker & The All Stars, whose version reached the top 10 on the R&B chart and the top 25 on the pop chart. In 1987, Welsh rock and roll singer Shakin' Stevens covered the song, making it a minor hit in the UK and Ireland. A minor key version was released by the alternative band The Afghan Whigs in 1992. The song was also covered in 2001 by fellow Detroit singer Freda Payne, whose sister Scherrie Payne became a member of the Supremes in 1973.
