Mr. Mick is a rock album released by the British group Stackridge in 1976. Originally on Rocket Records, its catalogue number was ROLL 3.

The album was produced by Andy Cresswell-Davis (known simply as Andy Davis on this recording) and engineered by Denny Bridges. It was recorded at Ramport Studios and mixed at AIR Studios. Pete Gage produced the basic track on "The Dump" and "Steam Radio Song".

Probably the most controversial of all the albums by Stackridge, the version of Mr. Mick that was released in 1976 had many changes ordered by the group's label Rocket Records. The album was generally considered a disappointment by many fans. It was their first album to go unreleased in the U.S.

The many difficulties the group experienced during this time contributed to their break-up not long after the release of Mr. Mick.

In 2000, DAP Records finally released the album in the form the group originally intended: it was entitled "The Original Mr. Mick". The 2006 re-issue on Angel Air is a 2-disc edition, containing both albums in their entirety.
