Onka's Big Moka is an album released in 2000 by the rock band Toploader. The album reached #4 on the UK charts, and a song from the album, "Dancing in the Moonlight", was featured in a television commercial for supermarket chain Sainsbury's.

The title is a reference to a 1976 anthropological documentary Ongka's Big Moka: The Kawelka of Papua New Guinea. It was still being played in UK university anthropology departments in the mid-1990s, around when the band members would have been attending.
