The Best Damn Thing is the third studio album by Canadian pop punk singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released on April 13, 2007.

This is Lavigne's first album to be allocated Parental Advisory label, shown on the limited and deluxe editions of the album.
Lavigne described the record as "fast, fun, young, bratty, rock, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way...all the good stuff." It is produced by Dr. Luke, Lavigne's husband Deryck Whibley, Butch Walker and Lavigne herself. Travis Barker (Box Car Racer, blink-182, +44, Transplants, Expensive Taste, The Aquabats) has also recorded some drums for the album, but most the drums come from the famous Josh Freese.
