"Not Too Much to Ask" is a song recorded by American country music artists Mary Chapin Carpenter and Joe Diffie as a duet. It was released in September 1992 as the second single from Carpenter's album Come On Come On. The song reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in December 1992. It was nominated for a 1993 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. It was written by Carpenter and Don Schlitz.
David Browne of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a negative review, calling it "a delicate acoustic ballad that doesn't set off as many sparks as the collaboration promises."
