You Don't Fool Me is a song by Queen. It was written by Brian May for the band's 1995 album Made in Heaven. It was also released as a single with Mother Love on the B-side.

Written as a collaboration between May and Freddie Mercury during his final recording sessions in Montreux, the song was later given a more polished mix under the direction of David Richard.

After receiving major airplay in Europe (a result of the song's dance club-oriented sound), You Don't Fool Me became the band's last European hit. The single reached #17 in the UK charts and #26 in Germany.
