Parachute is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Pretty Things, released in 1970.

Reviews at the time of release were very positive, with Billboard calling it "another top-flight album" for the band.

[6] In 1975, Rolling Stone critic Steve Turner wrote that it had been "a Rolling Stone 'album of the year',"[7] though in fact Parachute did not place among the magazine's Albums of the Year for 1970[8] or 1971,[9] and indeed was not mentioned in Rolling Stone until Stephen Holden called it an "obscure underground classic" in his review of Freeway Madness.

[10] The band's lineup at this point was Phil May, Wally Waller, John Povey, Vic Unitt, and Skip Alan.

Snapper Records released a 40th anniversary double CD in September 2010 which included acoustic reworkings of various tracks recorded in May 2010 by Wally Waller and Phil May.
