"Heartspark Dollarsign" is the third single released from American rock band Everclear's second studio album, Sparkle and Fade. Lead singer Art Alexakis wrote the song before Everclear formed, while he was in the band Colorfinger. The song was then recorded by Everclear in 1994 and included on Sparkle and Fade, which was released in May 1995. The lyrics describe an interracial relationship, something Alexakis often experienced in his youth.

"Heartspark Dollarsign" was released as a single on March 26, 1996, and reached the top 50 in Australia and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the single became Everclear's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 85 in June 1996, and it also reached number 13 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 29 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. In Canada, the song peaked at number 12 on the RPM Alternative 30.
