"Shoulder Lean" is a song by American rapper Young Dro, released on March 3, 2006, as his debut single and the lead single from his first album Best Thang Smokin'. The song features fellow rapper T.I. on the hook. The production was handled by Grand Hustle in-house producer Cordale "Lil' C" Quinn. The song was a hit in the United States, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. This was Young Dro's only hit single as a lead artist, and T.I.'s fourth Top 10 single.

A freestyle over the song's production, entitled "Live from the 504" by Lil Wayne, is featured on his mixtape Da Drought 3 (2007).

The music video for "Shoulder Lean", directed by President Thomas Forbes, makes references to the respective video of the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg song "Nuthin But A "G" Thang". The video includes cameo appearances from Lil C, DJ Drama, DJ Khaled, Slim Thug, Big Gipp, Shay "Buckeey" Johnson, Gotti, Shawty Hughley Young, Dallas Austin, Lil Duval, Big Kuntry King, AK Parlae, and Grand Hustle vice president Claybourne "Clay" Evans Jr., who died in March 2023.
