The Transformed Man is actor William Shatner's debut album, released in 1968, while the original Star Trek series, in which he starred as Captain James T. Kirk, was still on the air.

The album is best remembered for showcasing Shatner's now-famous vocal style—spoken word with a number of dramatic pauses and flourishes. Shatner started playing up this aspect of his career in the 1990s as he enjoyed a resurgence of popularity, this time as a pop-culture icon. The actor/singer appeared in a number of commercials for Priceline.com, where the unique musical style displayed in The Transformed Man was showcased for humorous effect.

Appearing with Shatner in some of those commercials was pop music's Ben Folds. The two formed a professional relationship that would ultimately lead to the release of Shatner's second album, Has Been, in 2004.

Today, most of the "songs" in the album have been featured as comedy bits, either on compilation albums meant to showcase bad celebrity singing (the Rhino Records "Golden Throats" series) or by radio disc jockeys looking for laughs.
