Hello Big Man is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's 12th album, and 11th studio album, released in 1983. It is also her last album for Warner Bros. Records (and for what became the Warner Music Group, having also spent time with Elektra Records), as it was a failure commercially despite some reasonable critical reviews. The album featured Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare on a number of tracks, including one Bob Marley cover.

The music video for the single "You Know What To Do," directed by Dominic Orlando from a concept by Carly Simon, was filmed on location in Martha's Vineyard, at her home and in the surrounding woods.
