Freaky Styley is the second album by Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 1985 through EMI America. It saw the band back with original guitarist Hillel Slovak.

It was produced by George Clinton of P-Funk (who were a major influence on the Chili Peppers) fame and featured a full horn section, with Flea actually being a part. It never dented the Billboard Top 200, and most professional critics ignored it completely and have, in most cases, continued to do so. However, Freaky Styley remains a substantial cult favorite among those who knew the early Chili Peppers firsthand.
