Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles is a compilation album by the grunge band Mudhoney. The album contains the entire Superfuzz Bigmuff EP plus the A-sides and B-sides of 2 singles, and 2 covers from split singles with Sonic Youth and The Dicks. It was released by Sub Pop Records in October 1990. The album is named after the Big Muff Pi and the Super Fuzz distortion pedals made by Electro-Harmonix and Univox respectively, which gave the band their signature dirty sound.

"Touch Me I'm Sick" was Mudhoney's first single, and also the first single ever released by Sub Pop; "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" was the B-side. The song "Burn It Clean" is the B-side of the "You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face)" single, released in 1989. "Halloween" is a cover of a Sonic Youth song, originally recorded for a split single between Mudhoney and Sonic Youth the latter playing "Touch Me I'm Sick". "Hate the Police" is a cover of a song by The Dicks. The last 6 tracks on the album are from Mudhoney's debut EP Superfuzz Bigmuff.
