Mr. Moonlight ～愛のビッグバンド～ (Romaji: Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~; English: Mr. Moonlight ~Love's Big Band~) is Morning Musume's 13th single (EPCE-5124) released on 2001-10-31. It is the first single to feature the Morning Musume 5th generation members. However, only one 5th Generation member gets a line (Niigaki Risa) at the beginning as the song mainly features Goto Maki, Abe Natsumi and Yoshizawa Hitomi. While on tour, the opening line was shuffled between the four 5th generation members.
