Webb Michael Pierce (8 d'agost de 1921 - 24 de febrer de 1991) va ser un dels cantants nord-americans de honky tonk més populars a la dècada dels anys 1950, posant en llistes un nombre més gran de cançons que qualsevol altre artista country d'aquesta dècada.
El seu principal èxit va ser "In the jailhouse now" que va estar 37 setmanes a la cartellera, 21 d'elles com a número 1. Pierce també va tenir com a número u durant diverses setmanes cançons com "Slowly" (1954), "Love, Love, Love" (1955), "I Don't Care" (1955), "There Stands The Glass" (1953), "More And More" (1954), "I Ain't Never" (1959) i el seu primer número u "Wondering," que ho va ser durant 4 de les 27 setmanes que va romandre a les llistes.
Per a molts, Pierce, amb el seu flamant estil, va ser la cara més reconeixible de la música country del moment i els seus excessos. Va ser membre del Grand Ole Opry ia títol pòstum del Country Music Hall of Fame .
