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, as it was a failure commercially despite some reasonable critical reviews by the standards of an artist who had never been popular with critics. 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.
