La voce del padrone is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, released by EMI Italiana in 1981.

The album followed L'era del cinghiale bianco (1979) and Patriots (1980), which signaled a return by Battiato to a more pop-oriented style.

[2][3][4] Before L'era del cinghiale bianco Battiato had begun to collaborate with violinist and composer Giusto Pio.

"Bandiera Bianca" quotes "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan, while "Cuccurucucù" borrows the refrain from the Tomás Méndez song "Cucurrucucú paloma".
