"Rat in Mi Kitchen" is a song written and performed by British reggae and pop group UB40.

It features Herb Alpert on trumpet[citation needed] and is the sixth track on their album 1986 Rat in the Kitchen.

Although "Rat in Mi Kitchen" is attributed to the whole group, like many UB40 songs, it was written by Astro.

At the time, lead singer Ali Campbell had moved into a new home in Balsall Heath, Birmingham and was troubled by rodents.

When asked by Astro if he had any ideas for new songs he replied, "Oh God, I don't care about the album for a minute, I've got a rat in the kitchen!"
