Itzy Bitsy Spider (or Itzy Bitzy Spider) was the debut single by the Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua, under their original name of Joyspeed.

The song is a translation of an old Danish song for kids called Lille Peter Edderkop (Little Peter Spider), which has been remixed by Aqua into a techno-fused song.

Released in 1995, the single was a minor hit in Sweden, reaching #54 in the charts. The song was also released in Denmark and Germany, although failed to chart. It was the only Aqua release under their original manager, Michael Brinkenstjärna, who would later successfully sue them for royalties relating to this and later releases.

The single is now a rare collectors item with less than one thousand copies in existence.
