"Big Black Dog" was a single released in 1970 by English rock outfit Humble Pie, one of the first so-called supergroups of the 1960s and 1970s. It was the band's first single on A&M Records, and one year on was a belated follow-up to Natural Born Bugie. It was written by the band's guitarist, Peter Frampton. The B-Side "Strange Days" is credited to Steve Marriott and Humble Pie. It later appeared on the group's fourth album Rock On.

In Germany the B-side was "Only a Roach", which was an ode to cannabis and was written and sung by Jerry Shirley.
