"Certain People I Know" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, released in December 1992 as the third single from his third studio album, Your Arsenal (1992). It was the third and final Morrissey single to be produced by glam rock musician Mick Ronson. Reaching number 35 in the UK Singles Chart, the song had the distinction of being Morrissey's lowest-charting solo single up to that point.

"Certain People I Know" was the first Morrissey single to be released following the singer's bottling off stage at the Madstock festival when he supported Madness and the subsequent NME story regarding his alleged racism.{{cite web | title = Disastrous festival performances | url = http://www.virginmedia.com/music/pictures/festivals/worst-festival-sets.php?ssid=5 | publisher = Virginmedia.com | accessdate = 10 July 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929014447/http://www.virginmedia.com/music/features/worst-festival-sets.php?page=5|archive-date=29 September 2013}}{{cite web | last = Veltman | first = Chloe | title = The Passion of the Morrissey | url = http://www.believermag.com/exclusives/?read=article_veltman | publisher = The Believer | date = July-August 2008 | access-date = 10 July 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080728053248/http://www.believermag.com/exclusives/?read=article_veltman|archive-date=28 July 2008}} This led to the single cover being changed from featuring the singer's name spelt out in the colours of the Union Jack to plain black writing.Q Magazine Smiths and Morrissey Special Edition, 2004
