Meddle is an album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was recorded at various studios in between the band's live touring commitments from January through August 1971.

Originally released in the U.S. on 30 October 1971 by Harvest/Capitol and in the UK on November 5 by Harvest/EMI, the album was later remastered three times: first by MFSL in 1984 on high-quality vinyl and cassette, then in 1989 for Ultradisc, and finally by Doug Sax (supervised by James Guthrie) for the 1992 Shine On box set. This latter digital master was used for a CD reissue with additional artwork by Hipgnosis, released August 1994 in Europe and April 1995 in the U.S.

"Meddle is amongst my favourites. I mean that, to me, is the start of the path forward for Pink Floyd, really."

— David Gilmour, February 1988, on Australian Radio
"Meddle was the first real Pink Floyd album. It set a tempo, a feel and a style that we liked, and it introduced the idea of the theme that can be returned to. It sounds a bit ham-fisted now, but the concept thing I like."

— Nick Mason, 1994
