The Bertha Butt Boogie was a song released in 1975 by The Jimmy Castor Bunch. It achieved #16 on the US pop chart and #22 on the US R&B chart.

The record was a follow-up record to the band's 1972 top 10 hit "Troglodyte (Cave Man)", which also featured the "Bertha Butt" character, who showed up on several more Jimmy Castor Bunch tracks in following years; it also calls back to two previous Castor recordings, "Hey Leroy Your Mama's Calling You" and "Luther the Anthropoid (Cave Man)", who appear with the troglodyte midway through the song to boogie with the Butt sisters. It has been described by one critic as "another self-defining hit" for the band, and by another as the "seminal narrative" of "celebratory butt songs" in the same vein as such as "Da Butt", "Rump Shaker", and "Baby Got Back".

The song is considered an icon of black music, bringing humor into the larger narrative that emerged in the mid-seventies.
