Ptooff! is a 1967 album by the UK underground group The Deviants.

Mick Farren and Russell Hunter had met a 21 year old millionaire who funded the £700 required for this recording. Eight thousand copies were sold on their own Impressario label via mail order through the UK Underground press, such as Oz and International Times, before being picked up and released by Decca Records.[1] It was re-released in the mid-1980s by Psycho Records.

The sleeve came in a 6 panel foldout with extensive notes including a review by John Peel: "there is little that is not good, much that is excellent and the occasional flash of brilliance".[2]
