Charity Ball is the second studio album by the American rock group Fanny, released in July 1971 on Reprise.

The group experimented with a wider range of musical styles than the first album, including ballads and funk in addition to straightforward rock 'n' roll.

[3] Music critic Robert Christgau wrote, "This record exploits [drummer Alice de Buhr's] chops and presence, sinking the pop harmonies in a harder, funkier frame.

"[4] In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Mark Deming said that Charity Ball, in comparison with the group's first album, is a "stronger, more confident, and more enjoyable disc," writing that "the push and pull between June Millington's tough guitar figures and Nickey Barclay's rollicking keyboards yield more exciting results here."

He felt that the band has better songs on Charity Ball, but that the production is "sometimes a bit more polished than this music needed.
