Beautiful Loser is the eighth album by American rock singer/songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music).

The album relied mostly on session musicians from the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, but the Silver Bullet Band members were used separately on some songs and together on "Nutbush City Limits," a cover song of the hit by Ike & Tina Turner.
