Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be is the debut album by English glam rock band the Sweet, released in November 1971 on RCA Records in the UK. It reached number one in Finland in February 1972. The album contained two singles which were hits in the UK: "Funny Funny" (No. 13 in March 1971) and "Co-Co" (No. 2 in June). In the United States, only "Co-Co" dented the chart, reaching No. 99 in October.

RCA released the album in West Germany under the title Funny Funny, How Sweet Co-Co Can Be (1971) with a different album cover and an extra song. That song ("Done Me Wrong All Right") was included as an extra track on the 1991 BMG Music CD reissue. It is also the first bonus track on the CD reissue released on 24 January 2005.
