"French Kissing" is a song by German singer Sarah Connor. It was written by Rob Tyger and Kay Denar for her debut studio album, Green Eyed Soul (2001). A sensual mid-tempo song about tongue kissing, it is built around a sample of "No Diggity" (1996) by American R&B group Blackstreet featuring Dr. Dre and Queen Pen. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Dr. Dre, Queen Pen, William "Skylz" Stewart and Blackstreet members Teddy Riley and Chauncey Hannibal are also credited as songwriters.

The song was released by X-Cell Records on 20 August 2001 as the second single from Green Eyed Soul. "French Kissing" peaked at number 18 on the Austrian Singles Chart, becoming Connor's second top 20 hit in Austria, and reached number 26 in Germany, where it would remain her lowest-charting single on the German Singles Chart until 2010. A music video, directed by Hannes Rossacher and Frank Wilde, was filmed at Hotel Urania in the Landstraße district of Vienna in July 2001.
