"Big Log" is a song by English recording artist Robert Plant from his second solo studio album, The Principle of Moments (1983). It was the first single from the album and became his first Top 40 solo hit, peaking at No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song also reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart.

Bassist Viktor Krauss recorded a cover of "Big Log" on his 2004 album Far From Enough. Krauss' sister Alison, who would record the album Raising Sand with Plant three years later, sang lead vocals on the track.

The song is featured in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V on the in-game radio station Los Santos Rock Radio.

The music video for the song was filmed on location in various areas around California and Nevada, including the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel in Death Valley Junction, California, the Calico Ghost Town in California, the Glass Pool Inn in Las Vegas, and in Crystal, Nye County, Nevada.
