"My Big Iron Skillet" is a song written by Bryan Creswell and Wilda Creswell. It was recorded and released as a single by American country, rock, and Christian artist, Wanda Jackson.

The song was recorded at the Columbia Recording Studio on March 29, 1969 in Nashville, Tennessee, United States.[1] "My Big Iron Skillet" was officially released as a single in September 1969, peaking at number twenty on the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles chart. It was her first top-twenty single since 1967. The song was issued on Jackson's 1970 studio album, Wanda Jackson Country.[2]

Music journalist, Robert K. Oermann and anthropologist, Mary A. Bufwack called this song, "threatening" since Jackson threatens to kill the song's antagonist with a kitchen skillet.[3]
