Shadow Man is the second studio album from South African artist Johnny Clegg and his band Savuka.

It was released in 1988 and produced by Hilton Rosenthal. South Africa's apartheid was still in place, and some of the songs contained heavy political messages aimed at the regime. The lyrics were mainly sung in English, with backing vocals in Zulu. All were written by Johnny Clegg with the exception of tracks 7 and 8, for which Keith Hutchinson collaborated. The album twice reached #31 in Canada - first on September 3, 1988, and again on October 1. The single "I Call Your Name" reached #78 in Canada, August 27, 1988.
