My Brother the Cow is the fifth album by the grunge band Mudhoney. It was released on Reprise Records on March 28, 1995 (see 1995 in music). Of note is the CD version of the album's hidden 13th track, which consists of half of the preceding tracks, played backwards.

"My Brother The Cow" is notable for its numerous direct references to bands that influenced Mudhoney's sound. Some allusions can be found in song titles. The song "F.D.K. (Fearless Doctor Killers)", for example, is a reference to the Bad Brains song "F.V.K. (Fearless Vampire Killers)". "Orange Ball-Peen Hammer" alludes to the song "Orange Claw Hammer" by Captain Beefheart (as well as containing lyrics borrowed from Led Zeppelin). "1995" is homage to the song "1969" by The Stooges, and also includes musical references to "L.A. Blues", another Stooges song.

Reprise re-issued the album in 2003 with bonus tracks.
