10cc is the debut album by British rock band 10cc. It was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, which was part-owned by guitarist and engineer Eric Stewart, and released on Jonathan King's UK Records [No: UKAL 1005] label. The album reached No.36 in the UK.

Three of its five singles reached the Top 10 in the UK charts, including "Rubber Bullets", which hit No.1. The closing track, "Fresh Air for My Mama", was a reworking of "You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It", the B-side of 1970's "Neanderthal Man", an international hit by the band under its former name of Hotlegs.

Some versions of the album have an altered running order.

This album in its entirety, including all of the Bonus cuts from the 1993 German release and the 2000 Repertoire release appear, along with 10cc's second album, "Sheet Music" and all its released Bonus cuts, on "10cc - The Complete UK Recordings," on Varèse Sarabande Records.
