"Letter to Memphis" is a single by the alternative rock band Pixies, from their 1991 album Trompe le Monde. The song was frontman Black Francis' take on Chuck Berry's song "Memphis, Tennessee".[1] An instrumental version was included as a B-side to the "Alec Eiffel" single and later became the closing track of their compilation Complete 'B' Sides.[1]

In the December 1991 issue of Spin, critic Ivan Kreilkamp commented on "Letter to Memphis": "out of the kitsch and froth of the Pixies' sensibility, a line like 'trying to get to you' sticks in your mind like a piece of genuine feeling hidden on the back of a tacky postcard."[2]
