Starshaped is the title of a 1993 documentary of the rock group Blur. Originally conceived as a fly-on-the-wall documentary, it soon escalated into a collection of live performances, videos and festival footage, alongside band interviews.

Highlights include the band's successful performance at 1993's Reading Festival, a brief interview with the late John Peel and the band's apparent apathy towards being rockstars. The majority of the music comes from the bands first 2 albums - Leisure and Modern Life Is Rubbish, although the non-album track Popscene was included.

Several fans give their verdict on Blur, particularly on how the band have perfected their live act. The band's manager also appears in some scenes, although his face is (surprisingly) blanked out. Two German fans seem obsessed with the band and Damon in particular, having followed the group from New York to England to Germany.

The film was not a huge success upon release, but has since gained a cult following since being re-released on DVD in 2003.
