Guilty Until Proven Insane is the fourth studio album released by Skyhooks on March 13, 1978. It was the first album that featured Bob Spencer, who replaced guitarist Red Symons in early 1977. Spencer originally played in Sydney rock band Finch and was later was a member of The Angels.

Originally released as a 12" vinyl LP and also on red vinyl as a 5000-copy limited release, it was later released on CD in 1997. It is the first album to include an uncensored version of "Why Dontcha All Get Fucked" recorded in a studio, as opposed to live and censored versions. It is also the last album vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan made with Skyhooks before reuniting with them for the recording sessions featured on The Lost Album.

Only two singles were released from the album. "Women in Uniform" was a Top 10 hit nationwide, while "Meglomania" barely made the Top 100. Live favorites were "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBoogie", "Hotel Hell" and "Why Doncha All Get Fucked". "Women in Uniform" was covered 2 years later in 1980 by the heavy metal group Iron Maiden.

The album is no longer in regular print, thus numbers have dwindled largely and is now considered a rare item, much like the follow-up album Hot for the Orient.

The album's name comes from a line in "Twisted Innocence", which states 'if I'm guilty until proven insane...'.

The sixth track in the album, "Hotel Hell", is currently being used on the FOX reality series Hotel Hell starring Gordon Ramsay.
