Who Made Who is a hard rock album by Australian band AC/DC, released in 1986 as the soundtrack to the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive. It was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

Three tracks on the album – "Who Made Who" and the instrumentals "D.T." and "Chase the Ace" – were newly written and recorded by AC/DC in the Bahamas with George Young and Harry Vanda, who had produced all of the band's LP's from 1975 to 1978. The rest were taken from the band's previous albums. Only one song, "Ride On", is from the Bon Scott era; all of the others feature Brian Johnson. During the Who Made Who sessions, five other short instrumental songs were recorded for Maximum Overdrive all written by Malcolm Young and Angus Young:

Along with the album, the band released a 73-minute video tape, which contained music videos for the songs "Who Made Who", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Shake Your Foundations" (remixed), "Hells Bells", and footage from a live performance of "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)", which was filmed in Detroit in 1983. The video for the title track was directed by David Mallet at the Brixton Academy in London and features a multitude of Angus clones. According to the book AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll, 300 members of the band's fan club, and others who had simply heard about the event on the radio, came from all over the country and even slept out in the freezing cold to take part.
