"Kisapmata" is a song performed by the Filipino rock band Rivermaya. Written by Rico Blanco and released on the band's second album Trip. It was the first single released on the album.

It was one of the famous Rivermaya songs on which the group's original frontman Bamboo Manalac sings lead vocals. This song is certainly radio-friendly. It was the first Rivermaya single after original guitarist Perf de Castro left. And the first guitar solo by Rico Blanco. The song starts with a guitar riff played and the chords on the intro were: D, E minor, A and G. The beat became faster on the chorus. After its second chorus, the song features a guitar solo.[1] David Gonzales of Allmusic describes "Kisapmata" as 'pleasant and tuneful' and 'is less adventurous than much of the other material on Trip'.[2]
