Esatto! is a 1989 song by Italian singer Francesco Salvi from the album Megasalvi. The B-side is "Universal Love." It lasts 3 minutes and 36 seconds and was released by Mega Records and Five Record. The song was written by Francesco Salvi along with Roberto Turatti, Mario Natale, Mauro Giuliani, and Silvio Melloni. It sits between the singles "C'è da spostare una macchina" (1988) and "Ti ricordi di me?" (1989). A music video for Esatto! is available on YouTube.

Esatto! (which means "Exactly!") competed in the main section of the 39th Sanremo Music Festival, finishing seventh. Critics described it as a mix of eurodisco and a children’s song, featuring animal sounds created with an electronic synthesizer. For the festival performance, Salvi was joined by four dancers dressed as animals. La Repubblica praised the song and Salvi’s performance, calling it a playful break from the festival’s usual style that brought humor into the formal setting.

The song was a major commercial hit, reaching number one on the Italian charts and earning a gold disc for selling over 100,000 copies within two weeks of its release.
