All Jacked Up is the second studio album by American country music artist Gretchen Wilson, released on September 27, 2005 through Epic Nashville Records. After the massive success of her debut album Here for the Party (2004), Wilson went back into the studio to record its follow-up. Wilson worked with mostly the same team as her debut, with the album being produced by John Rich, Wilson, and Mark Wright.

When it was released, All Jacked Up received positive reviews from music critics but many felt that Wilson was trying "way too hard" to replicate the success of Here for the Party. The album went on to debut atop the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts with 264,000 copies sold first week, Wilson's highest first week sales.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-w/gretchenwilson.htm|title = Rock on the Net: Gretchen Wilson}} Sales for the album started declining due to the poor success of its singles.

"All Jacked Up" served as the lead single from the record on August 1, 2005. It broke the record for the then-highest debut on the US Hot Country Songs chart by a female artist when it debuted at number 21; despite that, the song only peaked at number eight (becoming her last top ten hit to date) and received a mostly-negative reception among country radio. The second single "I Don't Feel Like Loving You Today" became Wilson's first single to miss the top-twenty, peaking at number 22 at country radio. The other singles "Politically Uncorrect", which was a duet with Merle Haggard, and "California Girls" were both moderately received, peaking at numbers 23 and 25; the latter single was released through Columbia Nashville after Epic Records closed its country division. Compared to her debut, All Jacked Up was less successful, only being certified Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of one million copies in the United States.

Also featured on this album are "He Ain't Even Cold Yet" (which was originally recorded by Ken Mellons on his 1995 album Where Forever Begins) and a remake of Billie Holiday's pop standard "Good Morning Heartache".
