"Wizzard Brew" is the first album by glam rock group Wizzard, released in March 1973. In the US it was released as 'Wizzard's Brew' and failed to chart.

In approach, the album was much more experimental than the group's hit singles, with elements of hard rock (an approach Wood's previous band The Move had explored on their 1970 album 'Looking On'), and improvisation, especially on the lengthy 'Meet Me At The Jailhouse'. Wood frequently used ring modulation to give the instruments a harsh, distorted sound, and the album may represent an early foray into recording technique that would eventually be called lo-fi. Critical and popular reaction was mixed.

The original release included a lyric and photo sheet.

It was reissued on CD in 1999 but soon deleted. An expanded remastered edition, including the four A- and B-sides of the group's singles tracks, was released on CD in November 2006.
