Teenage Head is the third studio album by the San Francisco rock band Flamin' Groovies, released in March 1971 by Kama Sutra Records.[11]

Teenage Head was recorded on a 16-track machine at Bell Sound Studios in New York City.[12]

It is listed in the 2006 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Mick Jagger compared the album favorably to the Rolling Stones' contemporaneous Sticky Fingers.[13] Jagger reportedly thought the Flamin' Groovies did the better take on the theme of classic blues and rock 'n roll revisited in an early 1970s context.[2]
