"Treat Me Nice" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley for his film Jailhouse Rock (1957), in which it was featured prominently. It was also used as the B-side of the title song but was not included on the original release of the film’s soundtrack EP.

The song was later included in the musical revue Smokey Joe's Cafe , which consisted entirely of songs written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (and occasionally other collaborators as well).
