Madcap Laughs je debitantski solo album engleskog pjevača i pisca Syd Barretta . Zabilježeno je nakon što je Barrett napustio Pink Floyd u travnju 1968. godine. U albumu je snimljena povijest snimanja, s radom koja počinje sredinom 1968., ali većina sesije održava se između travnja i srpnja 1969. za koju su pripisana pet različitih proizvođača - uključujući Barrett, Peter Jenner (1968. sjednice), Malcolm Jones (sesije početkom do sredine 1969.) i članovi Pink Floyda David Gilmour i Roger Waters (sesije sredine 1969.). Među gostujućim glazbenicima su Willie Wilson iz Gilmourovog starog benda Jokers Wild i Robert Wyatt iz benda Soft Machine .
Madcap Laughs , objavljen u siječnju 1970. godine na Harvestu u Velikoj Britaniji, a na Capitol Recordsu u SAD-u, uživao je minimalni komercijalni uspjeh na puštanju, dosegavši broj 40 na službenom albumu u Velikoj Britaniji, dok nije uspio pogoditi američke ljestvice. Ponovno je objavljen 1974. godine kao dio Syd Barretta (koji je sadržavao The Madcap Laughs i Barrett ). Album je remasteriran i ponovno izdan 1993. godine, zajedno s ostalim Barrettovim albumima, Barrett (1970) i Opel (1988), samostalno i kao dio Crazy Diamond kutija. Novo remasterirana inačica izdana je 2010. godine.
