The Happiest Man in the World is an album by American folk punk musician Hamell on Trial, released on February 25, 2014 on New West Records.
American Songwriter's Hal Horowitz gave the album 3.5 out of 4 stars, describing it as "a powerful and revealing introduction to a guy whose full talents can only be experienced in concerts where he really lets loose". Mark Deming of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "As Joe Strummer told us, anger can be power, and Hamell on Trial still has a full tank of the stuff cut with some snarky but potent humor, and it fuels The Happiest Man in the World very well indeed."
