City Baby's Revenge is the second studio album released by British hardcore punk band Charged GBH. The album's title is a response to the band's 1982 debut album, City Baby Attacked By Rats. It was released under record label Captain Oi! in 1984.

The song "Diplomatic Immunity" is a common song heard live. "Give Me Fire" became a UK national hit and topped the Independent Chart in 1983 and has since been covered by other bands including The Almighty. The 2006 CD reissue of the album included the indie charted "Do What You Do" from the Do What You Do EP.
