The longest muscle in your body can be either the gracillis or the hamstring muscles in your upper legs. The overall largest muscle is actually the butt muscle, the gluteus maximus. The brain is NOT a muscle at all, so the previous answers saying that are incorrect. The brain is a collection of nerve cells and their supporting cells and structures, NOT muscle fibers. And "tubesteaks" as one responder so helpfully told you, is also not actually, for the most part, a muscle, more a collection of blood vessels and spongy tissue. It may be the biggest muscle in HIS body! The most vital muscle is, of course, your heart. So, depending on if you mean length, overall size, or importance to continued living, those are the 3 best answers I know.

Your biggest muscle in your body is your Quadriceps. They are in the front of your upper leg, your thigh. I dont know why people are saying the brain, I dont think its even a muscle.? Yes the Quads are bigger than your Gluteus(booty). Dont let anyone talk you ota this one.

not wanting to sound like a smart gluteus maximus,but those who said brain, have their brains in the gluteus maximus.
As already stated the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle.
