"One Great Thing" is the third single from Scottish band Big Country's 1986 album, The Seer. After the somewhat disappointing chart performance of the band's previous single "The Teacher" (UK #28), the song reached #19 in the UK, a successful return to the Top 20. The song was also the last single from The Seer and the band's next album Peace in Our Time would be released in 1988.

A music video was also shot for the song, featuring different people mouthing the lyrics to the song as well as shots of the group performing it on stage.
