Big Pumpkin is a children's book written by Erica Silverman, illustrated by S. D. Schindler, and published by Aladdin Paperbacks in 1992.

The story is loosely based on a Russian folktale, "The Gigantic Turnip", and takes place on Halloween as a witch struggles to release her pumpkin from a vine.

[3][4] The Horn Book Guide gave a mostly positive review, calling it an "amiable take-off".

[6] The Scholastic cassette has the music of Richard DeRosa and the singing narration of Steven Blane.
