"Asshole" is a song by American comedian Denis Leary, released as the only single from his album No Cure for Cancer in 1993.
In a 2008 appearance on The Opie and Anthony Show, comedian Louis CK claimed that Leary stole his "I'm an asshole" routine, which was then expanded upon and turned into a hit song by Leary.

For broadcast, the "-hole" part of the title was bleeped, a fact that is discussed by Leary and Corden during the song.
