Spoiled Girl is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's 13th album, and 12th studio album, released in 1985.

It was her only album for Epic Records, and was a commercial flop, peaking only at #88 on the Billboard Hot 200.

Spoiled Girl has sometimes been regarded as the weakest album Carly Simon ever recorded, largely because the sheer number of producers (eight different producers for just eleven songs) destroying "her always distinctive soup"[1].
