Offend Maggie is the tenth studio album by American experimental rock band Deerhoof, released on October 7, 2008 by Kill Rock Stars. Over the summer the band put up sheet music for the song "Fresh Born" online, and invited fans to record their version. The title track is streaming on the label's website, while Wired is streaming short clips of various songs on the album.

The album was issued in the UK on October 13, 2008, via ATP Recordings.
