"Who Am I? (What's My Name?)" (commonly titled "What's My Name?") is the solo debut single by American hip hop recording artist Snoop Doggy Dogg. It was released on October 10, 1993 as the first single from his debut album, Doggystyle, with the record labels Death Row Records, Interscope Records, and Atlantic Records. It was ranked number 456 on NME's 500 greatest songs of all time.

The song, produced by Dr. Dre, features samples and interpolations from George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" in its chorus and throughout, and an interpolation from Parliament's "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" in its bridge. The song's intro contains a sample from The Counts' "Pack of Lies." A vocal sample ("the bomb") from Parliament's "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" can be heard throughout.

The song and music video were parodied in director Rusty Cundieff's film, Fear of a Black Hat (1993).

In the UK in 2014, the song was used on an advert for MoneySupermarket, which featured Snoop Dogg.

"Who Am I? (What's My Name?)" was the first top 10 hit of Snoop Dogg on the Billboard Hot 100, the first as a lead rap artist. The song reached number 8 on the chart. This was Snoop Dogg's first song that made him famous. The song topped the US Hot Rap Songs for three weeks. It was certified gold by the RIAA in 1994.
