"Rump Shaker" is a song by American hip-hop group Wreckx-N-Effect. It was released in August 1992 by MCA Records as the lead single from their second album, Hard or Smooth (1992). It features production and guest vocals from Teddy Riley, brother of former Wreckx member Markell Riley. The song peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts, kept off the top spot from Whitney Houston's recording of "I Will Always Love You". It also reached No. 1 on the Hot Rap Singles, and No. 9 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.

The chorus of the 2008 single, "Paper Planes" by British musician M.I.A. was widely speculated to be based on the chorus, although the song's writers are not credited.

In 2024, the song appeared on co-songwriter Pharrell Williams' soundtrack album Piece by Piece (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).
