The Great Rocksteady Swindle is the twelfth studio album from New York City ska band The Slackers.

The Great Rocksteady Swindle was intended to showcase a more spontaneous, less produced side of the band.

All six members of the band were asked to contribute songs and a total of 25 tracks were recorded, 15 of which appear on the final album.

It is the first Slackers album to feature songs written by all the members of the band.

The album title is a reference to the film The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.
