"Touch Me, Tease Me" is a 1996 song by American R&B singer and songwriter Case. It serves as the second single from his self-titled debut album (1996). The single proved successful, it reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, was ranked 63rd in the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1996 and was Gold certified by the RIAA.[1][2][3] It further reached number 26 in the UK charts.[4]

It features vocals from R&B singer Mary J. Blige and rapper Foxy Brown, with backing vocals by Vernell Foster (later known as Vee of Koffee Brown) and contains a sample of the 1985 classic "P.S.K. (What Does It Mean?)" by Schooly D.

The song also features in the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy film The Nutty Professor, which scenes are intercut in its music video. Blige and Brown make appearances in the video.
