"Supermodel" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jill Sobule. It was initially released on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Clueless; that same year, Sobule included it on a reissue of her self-titled second studio album. The song was written by David Baerwald, David Kitay, Brian MacLeod, and Kristen Vigard, and produced by Brad Jones and Robin Eaton. Lava Records released it as the third single from the soundtrack and the second single from Sobule's album on August 22, 1995. The alternative rock song is about a teenage girl's desire to be a supermodel, which was inspired by excerpts from the teen magazine Sassy.
"Supermodel" received positive reception from music critics, who praised the sarcastic nature of its lyrics. In Australia, the song peaked at number 53 on the ARIA Charts. Morgan Lawley directed its music video, which was heavily inspired by the 1976 film Carrie. In 2020, Sobule claimed that she had some regret over the song's single release.
