"Fortunate Son" é uma música do Creedence Clearwater Revival, do excelente “Willy and the Poor Boys”, de 1969. Foi lançada como single no final de 1969, com "Down on the Corner" do Lado B. É uma música de protesto, criticando o envolvimento americano na Guerra do Vietnã e supostos privilégios dados aos filhos da "elite", que não seriam mandados para o combate. John Fogerty afirmou na história não-oficial do Creedence “Bad Moon Rising”, escrita por Hank Bordowitz, que a inspiração foi David Eisenhower, neto do ex-presidente americano Dwight D. Eisenhower e seu casamento com a filha de Richard Nixon, outro ex-presidente, em 1968. Para Fogerty, os filhos da elite, como David Eisenhower, dificilmente seriam mandados para a guerra. O teor da letra é pró-classe trabalhadora e anti-privilégios. "Fortunate Son" alcançou o 14º lugar na Billboard Hot 100, passando 14 semanas no chart. "Down on the Corner" foi mais longe, alcançando o 3º lugar no mesmo chart e passando 15 semanas nas paradas. "Fortunate Son" foi classificada na lista da Revista Rolling Stone, “500 Melhores Músicas de Todos os Tempos”, em 99º lugar.
