"Shpalman®" is a 2003 single by Elio e le Storie Tese featuring Max Pezzali, anticipating the album Cicciput.

In 2003, Elio e le Storie Tese won the Best Italian Videoclip award at the Italian Music Awards of Federation of the Italian Music Industry for the videoclip of the song.

In the same year, the band released a remixed vinyl record of the single titled "Shpalman® RMX", which sees the collaboration, among others, of Gabry Ponte.

The song tells the story of a superhero that, to defeat evil people, douses their faces with excrements. It is written by the band's keyboard player Rocco Tanica, along with Italian singer Max Pezzali as a guest. The music video is a parody of the Le Vibrazioni's "Dedicato a te" video.
