"Mad Not Mad" is the sixth album by the British ska band Madness, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music). It was their only album not to feature founder member Mike Barson, who had left the group the year before.

Only a few weeks after its release, the writers of NME included this LP on their list of the 100 best albums of all time. The band themselves have been less satisfied with the album. In a BBC Radio 1 interview in 1993 Suggs described this "Mad not Mad" as "a polished turd" (referring to its glossy '80s over-production).
