Sha Mo 3000 (軍鶏参千 Shamo sanzen) is a studio album by Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It was released in October 2004 by the Brazilian label Essence Music. It was released in a standard edition and a boxset edition with a bonus 3" CD-R. Sha Mo 3000 is the first Merzbow album released by Essence.

The title is a reference to the shamo, a Japanese gamecock and Módulo 1000, a Brazilian psychedelic rock band. The label presented Masami Akita with some South American psychedelic LPs, which inspired the album. These included Não Fale Com Paredes by Módulo 1000, and Paêbirú by Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalho.[3]
