Ducknapped! is a live album by Richard Thompson, recorded during the 2003 tour to support the album The Old Kit Bag, and released on Thompson's boutique Beeswing label. As with most of Thompson's recent live releases from a tour supporting a new album, that album is heavily featured, with nine of The Old Kit Bag's twelve songs being included.

The title is derived from the joke 'ducknapping' of the tour mascot, a stuffed duck, and the subsequent backstage appearance of cod ransom notes.

None of the tracks on the album are included on the Live in Providence DVD which was shot on the same tour. Live in Providence features Rory McFarlane on bass guitar and double bass. Danny Thompson (no relation) was first called for the 2003 tour and plays on most tracks on this album, but after he was taken ill McFarlane replaced him.
