"'''You Don't Own Me'''" is a popular song written by the [[Philadelphia]] songwriters [[John Madara]] and [[David White (musician)|David White]], and recorded by [[Lesley Gore]] in 1963, when Gore was 17 years old.

The song is an example of threatened emancipation, as the singer tells a lover that he does not own her; that he is not to tell her what to do or what to say; that he is not to put her on display.
