"Natural Born Bugie" (often misspelled Natural Born Boogie) is the debut single released in 1969 by English rock band Humble Pie, who were one of the first British supergroups. It was written as a mid tempo rock song by Steve Marriott, for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label and became the band's first single release. The original UK B-Side was "Wrist Job" and it was replaced with "I'll Go Alone" for a later release in United States. The three guitarists sang a verse each.

The song reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart during 1969.[1] The song's refrain refers to a "Natural Born Woman":

There she is again
Steppin' out of her limousine, well
Looking like the cover of a twenty-dollar magazine
She's got it where you find it
If you know what I mean
She's a... natural born woman
Natural born woman
She's a... she's a natural born woman
