"Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music recording artist Shania Twain. It was released in November 1997 as the second single from Twain's album Come On Over but was the seventh to be released to international markets. The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. The single peaked at number six on the Billboard country singles chart, becoming Twain's sixth top-ten hit on that chart. The song was later released as her last single to European and Australian markets in 2000. "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)", which reached #5 in the UK in 2000, was included on the 2004 Greatest Hits package.

Billboard magazine called the single a "weak song," though predicted it would do well commercially nonetheless. The magazine criticized the immaturity of the song's lyrics and said the production was subpar.

According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Songs of Polygram International, Inc., "Don't Be Stupid" is written in the key of D major with Twain's vocals spanning from A₃ to B₅. The song moves at a tempo of 122 beats per minute.

In June 1997, Twain held auditions for clog dancers. In August 1997, it was reported that Larry Jordan would be directing the music video, which Twain confirmed herself in early October 1997. From October 18 to 19 of that year, the music video was shot and it debuted on November 12, 1997 on CMT. The video is set on a stage that is covered in water, and Twain is accompanied by backup Irish dancers following the Riverdance craze of the time and children playing fiddles. By the end of the video, the sprinklers come on, and everyone, including Twain, is soaked. "Don't Be Stupid" won the Video of the Year award at the 1998 Canadian Country Music Awards. The two most common versions of the video exist, one with the 'Original Album Version', and one released to Europe in 2000 of the 'Dance Mix Single'. The original video is available on Twain's DVD The Platinum Collection. The latter is available via iTunes and also can be seen on YouTube. A third version with the 'International Version' also exists, as it was screened at least once on CMT.
