"Breaking Bad" is the eleventh episode of the sixth season of Better Call Saul, the spin-off television series of Breaking Bad. It was written and directed by Thomas Schnauz. The episode aired on AMC and AMC+ on August 1, 2022, before debuting online in certain territories on Netflix the following day. "Breaking Bad" depicts the life of Jimmy McGill, both during his time as lawyer "Saul Goodman" in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and after changing his identity to Gene Takavic and relocating to Omaha, Nebraska.

The episode was met with positive reviews, with particular focus on the appearances of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, performances (especially those of Cranston, Paul, and Odenkirk), connections to Breaking Bad, and the regression of Jimmy McGill's character into a more ruthless version of Saul Goodman. An estimated 1.34 million viewers saw the episode during its first broadcast on AMC.
