"Big Man in Town" is a song popularized by The Four Seasons and written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio. The single was released by Philips Records in October 1964 and reached the #20 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.{{cite book |title= The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits: Eighth Edition |last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=238}}

"Big Man in Town" was released at a time in which Four Seasons material was being issued on an almost-weekly basis, between releases on Philips Records under their group name and reissues on the group's former label Vee-Jay. The rate of releases would be soon to increase as — with the blessing of Philips Records executives — lead singer Frankie Valli would be rekindling a long-dormant "solo" career with the rest of the group as backing musicians. The song is also featured in the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys.

This is one of the few Four Seasons songs that does not end on a fade.

Billboard described the song as having a "good teen lyric with big sound."{{cite news|newspaper=Billboard|accessdate=2021-04-02|date=October 31, 1964|page=16|title=Singles Reviews|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/60s/1964/Billboard%201964-10-31.pdf}} Cash Box described it as having "a haunting 'Rag Doll'-like opener" and said that it "moves along in ultra commercial stomper cha cha fashion."{{cite magazine |title=CashBox Record Reviews |date=October 31, 1964 |page=8 |access-date=2022-01-12 |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/60s/1964/CB-1964-10-31.pdf |magazine=Cash Box}}
