"Bad Reputation" is a 1981 reissue of the 1980 self-titled debut album by Joan Jett. The original 1980 album was independently released by Jett and it eventually gained enough attention that it was re-released through the Boardwalk Records label. "Bad Reputation" is identical to "Joan Jett" in terms of tracklisting.

In 1999, the album was again re-issued, this time on CD with several bonus tracks and a remastered version of the original album.

Also in 1999, the song "Bad Reputation" was used for the opening theme sequence of the critically acclaimed but short-lived NBC series Freaks & Geeks. A version of the song by Halfcocked appeared on the to the 2001 animated film "Shrek". The song is a playable track "Rock Band 2".

The song was covered by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne on her "Best Damn Tour" and is also attached to the single "The Best Damn Thing".
