Flirtin’ with Disaster is the second studio album by American rock band Molly Hatchet, released in 1979 by Epic Records. The album was re-issued in 2001 with four bonus tracks. It is their best-selling album.

The cover is a painting by Frank Frazetta titled “Dark Kingdom.”

The Globe and Mail wrote that “Molly Hatchet is a little more than just another in a too-long line of senseless and unimaginative southern boogie bands, rehashing party-boogie licks and singing the joys of cheap booze and even cheaper women.”

The Rolling Stone Album Guide deemed the title track “an obvious Skynyrd rip ... [that] possesses a certain rough charm.”
