"Back Door Santa" is a funk-style song recorded by Clarence Carter, which Atlantic Records released as a single in 1968.[1] In an artist biography, it is described as "a superbly funky Christmas single" and "raunchy".[1] The song was included on an Atco various artists compilation album Soul Christmas (1968).[2]

"Back Door Santa" has been recorded by several artists[3] and Run-D.M.C. sampled it for "Christmas in Hollis".[4] The lyrics include:

They call me backdoor Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys go out to play[4]
