Mr. Big is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the James Bond novel and film Live and Let Die. In the film, Big is portrayed by actor Yaphet Kotto.

In the novel, Mr. Big's name is actually an acronym for Buonapart Ignace Gallia, his real name. Big was born in Haiti and is half French. Likely trained in Moscow as a Soviet agent after World War II, Mr. Big then returned to Harlem and entered the nightclub business as a front for more sinister operations. According to M, Mr. Big is one of the most powerful criminals in the world.

Big is also a member of SMERSH.
