Malpractice is the second album by English rock band Dr. Feelgood, released in October 1975.

Malpractice saw Dr. Feelgood break into the UK Top 20, the success of the release a gauge of a change in the musical climate. With their drainpipe suits, short hair, and surly demeanour, they were as influential as any at the inception of punk rock.^[4]

The album was re-issued in August 1990 on the Grand Records
