Strictly Personal is the second album by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It was originally released in October 1968, almost a year after the band had initially taken to the studio to record the follow-up to 1967's Safe as Milk.

Beefheart subsequently condemned this production, which he said was done without his knowledge or approval, though he is said initially to have agreed to it.
