Shaan Rahman (born 30 December 1979) is an Indian composer and singer, best known for his compositions in the Malayalam cinema. Shaan made his debut as a music director in the 2009 film Ee Pattanathil Bhootham directed by Johny Antony. He got the chance to work in the film after the wide acceptance and popularity of his 2008 music album "Coffee at MG Road" which he did along with his friend, singer and director Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Vineeth invited him to work in his directorial debut film Malarvaadi Arts Club (2010). Later on, Shaan has frequently collaborated with Vineeth in his films.

He has gained popularity with films such as Thattathin Marayathu (2012), Ormayundo Ee Mukham (2014), Aadu (2015),Oru Vadakkan Selfie (2015), Adi Kapyare Kootamani (2015), Vettah (2016), Jacobinte Swargarajyam (2016), Annmariya Kalippilaanu (2016), and the song Jimikki Kammal from the film Velipadinte Pusthakam (2017) gained nationwide acceptance with so many alternative versions of it being released online.[2]

Shaan's third film as a music director was Thattathin Marayathu (2012), directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan. Its music was positively received by the public[3][4][5] and composer M. Jayachandran went on to state that "Muthuchippi Poloru" was his favourite song of the year.[2] In 2014, he made his Telugu debut with Saheba Subramanyam which is the remake of Thattathin Marayathu.[6]
