"Wildlife" is the third album by the band Mott the Hoople.

It was originally released in 1971; in the UK by Island Records under catalogue number ILPS 9144 and in the US by Wounded Bird Records. After the edgier rock of their first two albums this record has a softer feel (leading to its nickname "Mildlife" among band members). Even Hunter's trio of compositions are introspective, though disarmingly beautiful. For the first (and only) time Mick Ralph's contributions predominate, leading to an almost country-rock feel.

"Keep a Knockin'" is a shambolic live version, all that was deemed salvageable at the time from a prospective live album recorded at Croydon's Fairfield Halls in 1970.
