A Family Affair is the third studio album by American jazz bassist Christian McBride.The album was released in 1998 via Verve.

Bill Milkowski of JazzTimes noted "On his third album as a leader, bassist Christian McBride reveals more shades of his musical makeup than he’s allowed to slip through in the past. Along with his renowned upright chops-typically solid and swinging in the great tradition of Ray Brown-the Philly phenom also reveals himself to be a Bootsy-influenced funkster, Jamerson-inspired groovemeister, and Jacoesque fretless electric soloist. All this, plus his first stab at lyric writing, makes A Family Affair McBride’s most diverse and widely appealing project to date." Jim Santella of All About Jazz said "The toe-tapping music swings deliciously and is presented in a variety of different formats."
