"Funny, Funny" is a song by British band the Sweet released in January 1971. It was the first single from their debut album Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be and became their first chart hit, peaking at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

Robin Carmody of Freaky Trigger described the "particularly fine" song as the strongest example of the Sweet's early bubblegum sound, before the group's music became heavier.
