Peg is a song by the rock group Steely Dan, first released on the band's 1977 album Aja. The track was released as single in 1977 and reached number 11 on the US Billboard chart in 1978 and number eight on the Cash Box chart. In Canada, "Peg" spent three weeks at number seven during March 1978.

The song is about an aspiring actress with the director/photographer promising her a big break.

Michael McDonald sang backup on the track along with Paul Griffin; Donald Fagen sang lead. I heard Michael McDonald on the track in a video. (Singing) .. Just for example. My voice is totally different of course. Those guys could really harmonize.
