What a Lemon is an album by Danish rock band Gasolin', released in August 1976 on Epic Records in the United States, some parts of Europe, Japan and Australia.

The album received good reviews from leading American rock critics, but lack of airplay and the fact that the record company invested only small efforts in promotion and distribution meant that it never earned the band the public acclaim it was striving for.

But the band had ambitions of international fame, and while re-negotiating their record contract with CBS they demanded to have an album issued in the United States as part of the deal.

Most editions of What a Lemon were released with the cover picture from the third Danish album Gasolin' 3, a wall-painting of an unlucky girl losing her knickers, surrounded by a white border.
