Feats Don't Fail Me Now is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Little Feat, released in 1974, on the Warner Bros. label. The cover was designed by Neon Park.{{cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/p/park_neon.htm |title=Neon Park |work=Comiclopedia|accessdate=2021-09-27}}

According to Richie Hayward, "Wait Till the Shit Hits the Fan" dates back to their debut but the band had had trouble recording it on the previous two albums, due to its irregular {{music|time|7|8}} meter. It was scrapped until the sessions for this album when it was recorded live in the studio as "The Fan"; the original version appeared on the 2000 boxed set Hotcakes & Outtakes: 30 Years Of Little Feat.{{cite web|author=Robyn Flans |url=https://www.moderndrummer.com/2010/10/richie-hayward-5/ |title=Richie Hayward: The MD Interviews, Part 1 |date=21 October 2010 |publisher=Modern Drummer|access-date=2019-09-30}}

In 2000 the album was voted number 718 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.{{cite book|title=All Time Top 1000 Albums|author=Colin Larkin|author-link=Colin Larkin|publisher=Virgin Books|date=2000|edition=3rd|isbn=0-7535-0493-6|page=230}}
