All-Amerikkkan Badass (stylized as ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$) is the second studio album by American rapper Joey Badass. It was released on April 7, 2017, by Pro Era Records and Cinematic Music Group.

The album was supported by three singles: "Devastated", "Land of the Free" and "Temptation". All-Amerikkkan Badass received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number five on the Billboard 200.

In an interview with WiLD 94.1, Joey Badass spoke on the creation of the album:

This new project is very powerful. That's the best thing I can say about it: it's very strong music. It's like hella vegetables. It's hella good for you, and it's almost my hesitance with it: the fact that it's so good for you, because these kids these days want candy. 'Devastated' is almost like the organic candy because the message is still good for you.

The album's title is a reference to the mixtape AmeriKKKan Korruption by Joey's late friend and co-founder of the Pro Era label Capital Steez, which was later re-released at the five-year anniversary of the project. The titles from both projects contains an overt reference by Los Angeles-based rapper Ice Cube's first solo album AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. In all three cases "America" was intentionally misspelled, alluding to the white supremacist movement of the Ku Klux Klan.

The album's lead single, titled "Devastated", was released on May 27, 2016. The song was produced by Powers Pleasant, Kirk Knight and Adam Pallin.
