"Dizzy Miss Lizzy" is a song composed and sung by Larry Williams in 1958.

The song has been covered many times, including — famously — by The Beatles on the 1965 Help! album (though the recording was initially intended for the 1965 American Beatles compilation Beatles VI along with the Larry Williams cover "Bad Boy," recorded by the Beatles on the same day). Paul McCartney has stated that he believes this song to be one of the Beatles best recordings. It features loud, rhythmic instrumentation, and John Lennon giving the vocal his all. The song also appeared in a live solo version by Lennon on the Plastic Ono Band's Live Peace in Toronto 1969.

In the United States, the Beatles' version was on the album Beatles VI. In the UK, it was on Help!.

The title is playfully misleading. The actual lyric is, "You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy". It may sound like a love song, but it is a pure rock-and-roll bonanza.

The song was originally thought about by band manager Brian Epstein, and was later introduced to Ringo Starr, the band's drummer. He made sure that the band recorded it after loving its upbeat rhythm and interesting lyrics.
