"Jewel Eyed Judy" is a song by British rock group Fleetwood Mac, which was released as a single from the 1971 Kiln House album.

Although credited to John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Danny Kirwan, Mick Fleetwood stated in his 2014 autobiography, Play On, that his wife Jenny Boyd and Christine McVie wrote the lyrics together when Boyd was four months pregnant.[2] Judy Wong, the band's secretary, was the subject of "Jewel Eyed Judy".[3]

Billboard predicted that the song would reach the top 60 of the Billboard Hot 100,[4] but it failed to chart at all, only managing to reach the bubbling under portion of the Dutch Top 40.[5]
