Mickey Avalon is the self-titled debut solo studio album by American rapper Mickey Avalon. It was originally released in 2005 through Shoot to Kill Music and re-released on November 7, 2006 via MySpace Records in association with Shoot to Kill/Interscope Records.

Production was handled by Aaron Harris, Cisco Adler, Dave Cooley, Giuseppe Patanè, Sunny Levine, Dirt Nasty, DJ Ill Media and Tim Anderson. It features guest appearances from Andre Legacy and Dirt Nasty, with cameo appearances from Camille Vizzi, John Sinclair and Wayne Kramer.

Avalon describes the album as "a glam rap record about Hollywood's seedy underbelly and the ugliness of my own life".[6]

The popularity of the hidden track "My Dick" eclipsed that of the album itself, due to its being featured in Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and The Rebound, as well as the TV series Hung and American Dad!. The song's lyrics are a series of humorous similes which favourably contrast the rappers' penises with that of another (unspecified) person.

Additionally, "Jane Fonda" was featured briefly in an episode of Entourage and the films The Rebound and I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. The single also was a minor success in the US Billboard Alternative Songs chart, peaking at No. 36.
