Pistolero is a song released by electronica band Juno Reactor, and recorded on their fifth album Shango.
The song opens with Spanish acoustic guitar and a female voice saying, "I hate robbing banks" followed by a blast of gun fire that introduces the Goa Trance beat.
Pistolero was done in a collaboration between Ben Watkins and Steve Stevens guitarist for Billy Idol. The song opened up an entirely new direction for Juno Reactor.

The voice sample at the beginning of the track "I hate robbing banks" was said by Anne Baxter in the 1966 Batman (TV series), episode Zelda The Great...A Death Worse Than Fate.

Pistolero was also featured during the trailer for the movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico, as well as the film itself.

Pistolero means gunman in Spanish.

The song was also featured on the Playstation game Jet Moto 3.
