"St Vitus Dance" is a song by the British band Black Sabbath. It is track 9 on their fourth album, Volume 4 which was released on September 25th, 1972. Doom metal band Saint Vitus featuring Scott "Wino" Weinrich took its name from this song.

"Volume 4" was originally intended to be titled "Snowblind," a reference to heavy cocaine use, and was made at a time when Black Sabbath were using cocaine regularly.

An early symptom of an overdose of cocaine by injection is a series of spasms comparable to epileptic tremors, similar to St. Vitus Dance, for which the song was named, along with the movement disorder Chorea, also known as Chorea sancti viti (Latin for "St. Vitus' dance").
