"I am the Mob" is a song by Welsh rock band Catatonia. Taken from the album "International Velvet", it became the band's second top 40 hit, peaking at No.40. The song's lyrics are based around gangster movie "The Godfather", with lines "I put horses heads in people's beds, cos I am the mob", and "That Luca Brasi, ah he sleeps with the fishes".

The video was directed by Kevin Allen, director of Twin Town and was filmed in the highlands of Scotland, showing the band playing with toy boats and fishing. However the song received very little airplay, due to the lyrics being considered radio un-friendly for radio stations.

The B-side "My Selfish Gene" later appeared on the "International Velvet" album.
