"Rapid City Muscle Car" is the second studio album by the American band Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 1994 on indie label Space Age Bachelor Pad.

"Rapid City Muscle Car" is arguably the Daddies' most musically eclectic work. According to band, they intended each track on the album to be the direct opposite of the last, with the lyrics being the main focus. In addition to the standard swing and funk rock influences seen on their debut, the album touches upon rockabilly, ska punk, neo-lounge, punk rock and country.

The album had two covers: the first featured bassist Dan Schmid walking a chicken, while the second (and most common) featured artwork from longtime Daddies friend Wayne Shellabarger.
