You Are My Little Bird is an album by Elizabeth Mitchell, released in 2006 by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. The album is a collection of children's music played in a folk music style. In addition to versions of folk tunes, it features covers of a variety of songs by other artists, among them "What Goes On" by The Velvet Underground, Neil Young's "Little Wing", and "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley. On most of the songs, Mitchell is accompanied by family members.[3] The liner notes include personal stories from the artist, but no lyrics.

The song "Little Bird, Little Bird" was used in the Futurama episode, "Lethal Inspection". Her version of "Three Little Birds" appears in the first episode of Watchmen.
