"The Big Three Killed My Baby" is the third track on The White Stripes, the eponymous debut of the Detroit band The White Stripes. It was released in March 1999.

The song is an attack on the automotive industry's poor workmanship. The song mentions Tucker's blood, a reference to Preston Tucker's ill-fated Torpedo Tucker.
