"Shallow Be Thy Game" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1995 album "One Hot Minute". It was released as a single only in Australia, bearing the same photograph on the front cover as the "Coffee Shop" single released in the rest of the world.

The song's lyrics reject organized religion in general but particularly Christianity (with a subjective reference to Galileo's support of heliocentrism). The song speaks against missionaries pushing their ideas on people who don't want them, and the song's name itself is a derogatory pun on the Christian phrase "Hallowed be thy Name" from the Lord's Prayer.

The original working title for "Shallow Be Thy Game" was called "Epic."
