Dixie Chicken is the third studio album by the American rock band Little Feat, released in 1973, on Warner Bros. Records. The artwork for the front cover was by illustrator Neon Park and is a reference to a line from the album's third song, "Roll Um Easy".

The album is considered their landmark album with the title track as their signature song that helped further define the Little Feat sound. The band added two members (guitarist Paul Barrere and percussionist Sam Clayton) to make the more complete and familiar line-up that continued until their 1979 breakup following the death of Lowell George. Bassist Kenny Gradney was brought in to replace original bassist Roy Estrada, who had left after the band's second album, Sailin' Shoes, to join Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. This new line-up radically altered the band's sound, leaning toward New Orleans R&B/funk.

It was voted number 563 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000).

The title track was released as a single by Warner Bros. in March 1973 in the U.S., backed with "Lafayette Railroad" (WB 7689) and in February 1975 in the UK, backed with "Oh Atlanta" (K 16524).
