Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge is the second studio album by American rock band Mudhoney.[3][17] It was recorded at a time when the band was thinking of signing to a major record label, but decided to release the album on Sub Pop in 1991. The album shipped 50,000 copies on its original release.[18] It was credited with helping to keep Sub Pop in business.[19]

Guitarist Steve Turner has said that the album is his "favorite Mudhoney album as a whole."

There is an alternate version of "Check-Out Time" on the Let It Slide EP.
