"Spanish Caravan" is a song by The Doors from the album Waiting for the Sun released in 1968. Its basic flamenco track is an established form of flamenco music known as Granadinas. The beginning riff was taken from Asturias (Leyenda), a classical piece of music by a Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909). It also borrows a similar sounding riff from Malagueña.

When the song was performed live, feelings of brutal lust and even desperation were especially emphasized.

The track was one of the important points of The Doors' concerts, sometimes included in the 'Celebration of the Lizard' series, famous for the accompanying Theatre experiments.
