Underground Album is the 21st studio album by American country musician David Allan Coe. Underground Album is Coe's follow-up to his 1978 album Nothing Sacred.

The album's music and vocal style was similar to other country acts of the era, but the lyrics are unusually explicit. Coe intended the album as ribald satire, inspired by his friendship with Shel Silverstein who wrote the comedy album Freakin' at the Freakers Ball.[1] As mainstream record labels would not release an album with such content, Underground Album was independently produced and recorded, and was not sold in stores. The album was available only through mail order via advertisements in the motorcycling magazine Easyriders, and in the merchandise stand at Coe's live performances.[1]
