World Clique is the debut album by American dance music band Deee-Lite, which was released in 1990. The album's first single, "Groove Is in the Heart", was a top-five success on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart as well as a No. 1 hit on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. Three subsequent singles also hit the top ten on the US dance chart, including "Power of Love/Build That Bridge", which also hit No. 1, and "Good Beat".

Guest artists on the album include Bootsy Collins, Q-Tip, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker. When World Clique was released on compact disc, two bonus tracks were added to the album: "Deee-Lite Theme" and "Build the Bridge".

"E.S.P." contains a sample of actor Bela Lugosi from the 1934 film The Black Cat.
