"Dirty Dawg" is a song by American boyband NKOTB (formerly New Kids on the Block), which became their final single to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 until the 2008 single "Summertime". It was featured on their 1994 album Face the Music and released in December 1993 by Columbia Records. The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight and Donnie Wahlberg rapped in the song, but he rapped only small bits during the instrumental breaks. There was another rap in the song featured by the former East Coast hip hop duo Nice & Smooth.

The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 66. It broke the top 40 in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 27. "Dirty Dawg" contains a sample of "That's the Way Love Goes", as performed by Janet Jackson.
