"Santeria" is a song on Sublime's eponymous third album. The song evolved out of a short instrumental on Robbin' the Hood called "Lincoln Highway Dub," which contained the song's eventual bassline and a pre-rhythm guitar riff. Other than the opening line, "I don't practice Santería," the song has little to do with the Caribbean religion. Rather, the song is a narrative of a jealous ex-boyfriend attempting to reclaim his girlfriend from a man he refers to as "Sancho." In Mexico, a man who steals another man's girlfriend ("heina") or wife is often referred to as "el Sancho," which may be why the name "Sancho" was chosen as the antagonist in this Sublime song.

A music video was filmed in 1997 after the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell, who makes a cameo via stock footage. The video was a visualization of the story told in the song, and featured Tom Lister, Jr. as Sancho.

  • The song was featured in the 2007 comedy Knocked Up.
  • "Santeria" also appeared in the comedy horror film Idle Hands.
  • The song was used on the Nintendo DS game, Jam Sessions (2007).
