Rich Kid Blues is a studio album by Marianne Faithfull, recorded in 1971 under the title Masques and first released in 1985.

The album was produced by Mike Leander, who had worked with Faithfull in the 1960s. Leander hoped to place the album with Bell Records but, despite some initial positive feedback, Bell rejected the record after it was completed. The 12 songs were cut at these 1971 sessions and, after the success of her 1979 Broken English album, was first released in 1985 on the Castle Communications compilation album Rich Kid Blues, which added most of the material from her 1978 album Faithless.[1] Background to the album is provided on the Faithfull Forever website.
