"Matador de Passarinho" (Portuguese for "Bird Killer") is a song written, composed and performed by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, and originally included on his second studio album, Skylab, from 1999.

The song became famous after one of Skylab's appearances at the Programa do Jô, becoming one of the musician's greatest hits.[2] Besides, the song is considered the greatest hit of the history of the Rio de Janeiro underground scene.[3]

The song eventually gave its name to a talk show hosted by Skylab from 2012 to 2014 at Canal Brasil, in which he interviewed celebrities forgotten by the mainstream media.[4]

In 2016 Skylab and Lívio Tragtenberg wrote a sequel to the song, "Matador de Passarinho 2". It was included on the duo's second collaborative album, Skylab & Tragtenberg, Vol. 2.

The song is mentioned on page 157 of Wallace Fauth's book amortebeijoparasempre (Editora Baraúna, 2008, ISBN 8560832165). In the excerpt, the author says: "I turned up the music's volume to the max and began to listen to Rogério Skylab's 'Matador de Passarinho'".[5]
