"Cercami" ('Look for me') is a 1998 Italian song composed by Gianluca Podio and Renato Zero and performed by Renato Zero. It is the second single released from the album Amore dopo amore.

A semi-autobiographical song, ^[1] it has been described as "a declaration of love to his audience, almost a plea from a man-artist who lays himself bare, opens his heart and asks to be loved as he is, with his flaws, his doubts, seeking him beyond the compromises of life". ^[2]

Artists who covered the song include Mina and Fiorella Mannoia. ^[1]
