Good Chef Bad Chef is an Australian television cooking show. The "Good Chef" presents health conscious recipes, while the "Bad Chef" presents indulgent recipes. The show's presenters are Joanna McMillan, Tim Bone, Jacqueline Alwill and Mike Reid.

Good Chef Bad Chef was originally hosted by Gary Mehigan and Janella Purcell on the Seven Network from 2006 to 2007.[1] A second season featuring both hosts screened in 2010.

The series was picked up by Network Ten in 2011 with Adrian Richardson presenting the indulgent recipes between 2011 and 2023.[2] The nutritionist co-hosts who presented the healthy recipes were Janella Purcell from 2011 until 2012,[3] Zoe Bingley-Pullin from 2013 to 2017 [4] and Rosie Mansfield from 2018 to 2021. Dr Preeya Alexander co-hosted the show alongside Richardson in 2022.[5]
