"Short People" is a song by Randy Newman from his 1977 album, Little Criminals. The verses and chorus are lyrically constructed as a prejudiced attack on short people. In contrast, the bridge states that "short people are just the same as you and I." Many listeners thought that the song reflected Newman's sincere beliefs. However, Newman intended the song to be a satire about prejudice more broadly: "The guy in that song is crazy. He was not to be believed." As with many of his songs such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a biased narrator.

Het verscheen in dat jaar tevens als albumnummer op Little Criminals. Newman trachtte discriminatie en vooringenomenheid te ridiculiseren door in "Short People" kleine mensen op de hak te nemen, maar deze ironische benadering van Newman (die zelf 1,83 meter lang is) werd niet door iedereen begrepen. De ophef rond het liedje deed twee radiostations in Boston besluiten het niet meer te draaien. Tijdens de tournee ter gelegenheid van Little Criminals werd Newman met de dood bedreigd. Hij had niet verwacht dat "Short People" zo veel teweeg zou brengen: "I had no idea that anything that silly would be taken seriously." De grote hoeveelheid aandacht le (nl)
