"A Legal Matter" is a song written by Pete Townshend and recorded by The Who for their debut album My Generation. It was recorded on 12 October 1965 at IBC Studios, and released as the B-Side to "The Kids Are Alright". The single was released without the permission of The Who on 11 March 1966, and reached #32. This song marks the first time Townshend sang lead vocals, rather than Roger Daltrey, as he was divorcing his wife at the time.

The song was covered by Richard Thompson on his 2003 album 1000 Years Of Popular Music.
