"Shadrach" is the 13th track on the album "Paul's Boutique" by American hip hop group the Beastie Boys, released on October 30, 1989. It was the second single released from the album.

* Produced & arranged by the Beastie Boys & the Dust Brothers.
* Engineered by Mario Caldato & Allen Abrahamson.
* Samples taken from Sly Stone's original funk hit, "Loose Booty", from his 1974 album Small Talk".

The song refers to the Biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace in the Book of Daniel. However, the lyrics "Shadrach, meshack, abednego" were also present in Robert MacGimsey's 1931 original as well as in Sly Stone's "Loose Booty", where they are repeated and spoken rhythmically throughout the track in an almost rap-like form.
