"Does Your Mother Know" is a song by Swedish pop music group ABBA, recorded for their sixth studio album Voulez-Vous (1979). In most countries it was the second single release from the album, but in North America was the lead single instead of "Chiquitita". The track is ABBA's only major single, and one of their few songs, to feature Björn Ulvaeus as lead vocalist rather than Agnetha Fältskog or Anni-Frid Lyngstad (who both provided backing vocals). The single's B-side was "Kisses of Fire". For the writing, Ulvaeus was inspired by a young fan he met and, because of her age, turned away.

A success for the group, "Does Your Mother Know" reached number one on the music charts in Belgium, and reached the top ten in eight other countries. Its North American chart performance was moderate, reaching numbers 12 and 19 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles and US Billboard Hot 100 charts. Ulvaeus later said that the track would have been a bigger hit if Fältskog or Lyngstad sang the lead vocals instead. In 2019, the single was re-released as a vinyl picture disc.
