"Con un deca" is a song by Italian pop group 883, released in 1992 as a single from their debut studio album, Hanno ucciso l'Uomo Ragno.

The song's title refers to a ten-thousand-lire banknote, known colloquially as a "deca" in Northern-Italian youth slang at the time. Its lyrics depict two young friends who feel dissatisfied with their ordinary lives and discuss their desire to do something meaningful, while lamenting that their limited financial means leave them with few options for entertainment or travel. The city referenced in the song is Pavia, the hometown of group members Max Pezzali and Mauro Repetto.

A re-recorded version featuring Italian hip-hop group Club Dogo appeared on the remake album Hanno ucciso l'Uomo Ragno 2012.

In 2024, "Con un deca" was used as the opening theme of the television series Accidentally Famous, which tells the story of the group.
