The Good, The Bad & The 4-Skins is the first album by English punk rock/Oi! band, The 4-Skins. Released in June 1982 on Secret Records, the album topped the UK independent and punk charts, and entered the Top 100 of the UK Albums Chart.

Side A of the original LP contained studio recordings, and Side B featured live versions of several previously released songs. The album was later combined with follow-up release, A Fistful Of...4-Skins (omitting the track "One Law for Them" due to space limitations) and released on a single CD by Link Records in 1987 as A Few 4-Skins More, Vol.1.

Despite being The 4-Skins' debut LP, it was in fact recorded by the third stable line-up of the band, with bassist Hoxton Tom McCourt being the sole member of the original 1979 line-up. However, the group's original drummer (and manager at that point), Gary Hitchcock wrote and performed vocals on the album's 2 Tone-style ska punk lead track.
