Painted Head is an album by folk artist Tim Hardin, recorded in England and released in 1972.

Hardin had moved to England in February, 1972 after the release of his album Bird on a Wire.

The album sold poorly and his contract with Columbia was terminated.

In his review for Allmusic, music critic James Chrispell wrote "This is a much different album for Tim Hardin, but it is much better than most would have thought...

While Painted Head isn't that great an album, it shows that Hardin was trying to reel in his excesses and give his career some much-needed discipline.
