Bad Timing is a 1997 studio album by American musician Jim O'Rourke, and his first to be released by the Drag City label.

Although O'Rourke had previously established himself with a prolific output of experimental music beginning in the late 1980s, this album marked the beginning of his series of albums released by Drag City focusing on more traditional instrumentation and song structures.

The album is named after the 1980 film Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession, directed by Nicolas Roeg.
