'''Craig Lee Fuller''' (born July 18, 1949) is an American musician and songwriter. Fuller was the co-founder of Pure Prairie League, along with John David Call and George Powell.

Fuller wrote and sang their first hit "Amie". He departed the band in 1973 after their second album, ''Bustin' Out.'' He returned to the music business in 1976 for two LPs with American Flyer. After American Flyer dissolved, Fuller returned to record one LP with former Flyer member Eric Kaz.

In 1987 Fuller was hired by Little Feat to front the band, who had noticed a resemblance in his voice to that of their late founder and frontman, Lowell George. Fuller's first LP with the band was ''Let It Roll''. He recorded two further albums with Little Feat before leaving the band in 1993. He made a guest appearance on their 1996 live album ''Live From Neon Park''. He is one of several guest artists on Little Feat's 2008 album ''Join the Band'' duetting with percussionist Sam Clayton on the Lowell George classic "Spanish Moon."

Fuller reformed Pure Prairie League in 1998.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.clevescene.com/2007-08-15/music/pure-prairie-league/ |title=clevescene |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719190453/http://www.clevescene.com/2007-08-15/music/pure-prairie-league/ |archivedate=2008-07-19 }}</ref> This incarnation recorded one album, ''All In Good Time'', released in 2005.
