"The Big Music" is a song by British band the Waterboys, released on 2 April 1984 as the lead single from their second studio album A Pagan Place. The song was written and produced by Mike Scott.

The name "Big Music" was adopted by some commentators as a description of the early Waterboys' sound and is still used to refer to the musical style of their first three albums.
