Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is a 1977 double album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. It is unusual for its experimental style, expanding even further on the jazz fusion sound of Mitchell's Hejira from the year before. Mitchell has stated that, close to completing her contract with Asylum Records, she allowed this album to be looser than anything she'd done previously.

Don Juan's Reckless Daughter was released in December 1977 to mixed reviews, but managed to peak at No. 25 on the Billboard charts and attained gold record status within three months.
