"Triangolo" (lit. "Triangle") is a 1978 Italian song composed by Renato Zero and Mario Vicari and performed by Renato Zero. It is the lead single of the album Zerolandia.

The song, which has an ironical and explicit depiction of a sexual threesome between two men and a woman as main theme, raised large controversies at the time of its release.[1][2]

Zero also recorded the song in Spanish as "Triàngulo", with lyrics by Lopez de Toledo, and in Engish as "Sexy Party".[1] A duet version with Raffaella Carrà was released in the album Sei Zero.[1]
