"Shooting Star" is a song by American rock band Poison. It is the third and final single released from Poison's 7th studio album Hollyweird, which debuted at No. 103 on the Billboard 200 and No. 8 on the Top Independent Albums chart after selling 11,574 copies its first week. The song was officially released as a single on November 5, 2002, in the United States, despite heavy promotion by the band and partnering with NASCAR driver Derrike Cope to race the Quest Motor Racing No. 37 Ford car wrapped with the Poison / Hollyweird paint scheme at The Great American Getaway 400 (formerly the Pocono 500) race on July 28, and the Pepsi 400 presented by Farmer Jack at Michigan International Speedway August 16–18, 2002 and steady airplay on AOR Radio stations, the single failed to achieve significant success.
Physical copies of promotional CD singles for "Shooting Star" contained the song "Wasteland" as a b-side also from their new album, Hollyweird. As of 2025 Shooting Star is the band's most recent new single that was an original song and not a cover song.
