Teenage Head is the third studio album by the San Francisco rock band Flamin' Groovies, released in March 1971 by Kama Sutra Records.{{cite book|title=The Mojo Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YjJpGhYC1GsC&pg=PA236|publisher=Canongate Books|year=2007|isbn=978-1-84195-973-3|page=236}}

Released the same year as the Rolling Stones' album Sticky Fingers, Mick Jagger reportedly noticed the similarities between the albums and thought the Flamin' Groovies did the better take on the theme of classic blues and rock 'n roll revisited in a modern context.
