"Mississippi Girl" is a song recorded by country music singer Faith Hill. It was released in May 2005 as the lead single from her album Fireflies. A number one single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in late 2005, it was her first number one on the country music charts since 2000's "The Way You Love Me".

Written specifically for the Star, Mississippi-bred singer by John Rich (of Big & Rich) and fellow MuzikMafia member Adam Shoenfeld, the uptempo tune was anticipated within the industry and spearheaded Hill's post-Cry "country comeback" by insisting that she had not forgotten her roots:

The song also references Hill's forays into acting, in an episode of Touched By An Angel and the 2004 film The Stepford Wives.

"Mississippi Girl" was considered identical in purpose and theme to singer Jennifer Lopez' 2002 hit "Jenny from the Block", a fact noted by a number of commentators at the time.

The single debuted at #27 on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart dated for May 28, 2005. It went on to become Hill's first Number One on the country music charts since "The Way You Love Me" in 2000. "Mississippi Girl" peaked at No. 1 September 3, and stayed at No. 1 for two weeks. It also reached at peak of No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also became Hill's first single to chart the Billboard Pop 100, peaking at No. 51 there.
