"Whatchulookinat" is a 2002 single released by American R&B/pop singer Whitney Houston. The song serves as the initial single from Houston's U.S. platinum selling fifth studio album, Just Whitney. The song, which was co-written by Houston, was her response to what she felt was intense and sometimes unfair and inaccurate media criticism at the time.

The single didn't have a strong showing on the pop charts as it was leaked on the internet prior to its release. Secondly, it was directed at the media itself, which in turn, is needed to promote a song. Thus, the media is unlikely to positively publicize a song that is against them. The single peaked at #96 on the Billboard Hot 100, but fared much better on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart, where it hit #1.

The single performed strongly in some international markets; reaching #3 in Canada and #13 in the United Kingdom.
