Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is the ninth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, released on December 13, 1977, through Asylum Records. A double album, it is unusual for its experimental style, expanding even further on the jazz-influenced sound of Mitchell's previous recordings. Mitchell has stated that, close to completing her contract with Asylum Records, she allowed this album to be looser than anything she had done previously.
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter was released in December 1977 to mixed reviews. It reached No. 25 on the Billboard charts and attained gold record status within three months.
The album is also notable for Mitchell's controversial use of blackface on the cover.
