Sparvöga is a 1989 single by Swedish artist Marie Fredriksson, known internationally from the duo Roxette. The single was not originally part of an album, but was written for the TV-series Sparvöga, which in turn was based on Ann-Charlotte Alverfors's book by the same name. The single was released in March 1989, and the next month peaked at number six on the Swedish charts. As such it was Fredriksson's highest charting single ever until the release of "Där du andas" in 2008, that reached the number one spot.

The Swedish word "sparvöga" literally means "sparrow-eye", but is used figuratively to describe particularly sharp human eyes, similar to the English hawk-eye.
