"Great Big Boy" is a 1991 album by guitarist Leo Kottke.

Kottke's fifth album on the Private Music label, "Great Big Boy" is unique in the later Kottke canon in that every song includes a vocal part. The disc consists of nine Kottke originals and a cover version of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone". Complementing the often-oblique song lyrics is a strange short story included in the liner notes.

Margo Timmins' vocals were recorded by Peter Moore at MDI Productions, Toronto, Canada.

Though Kottke would not release another studio album until 1994, he was a frequent guest on various projects. He guested on "Joshua Judges Ruth" (1992) and "I Love Everybody" (1994) for Lyle Lovett, "Troubadour" (1992) by Larry Long, "Other Voices, Other Rooms" by Nanci Griffith and "Traffic From Paradise" by Rickie Lee Jones (both 1993) and "Out of the Valley" (1994) by John Gorka.

"Great Big Boy" was re-released on CD as a "twofer" with "Peculiaroso" by Acadia (8182) on Oct 29, 2007.
