Freeway Madness is the sixth album by the English rock band Pretty Things. It was released in early 1973 on Warner Bros. Records.

It's the second album without founding member Dick Taylor and the first without bassist Wally Waller as a full member, who had been with the band since the band's 1967 album Emotions. However, he did produce the album, as well as sing vocals on one of the tracks. Since he worked as a producer for EMI at the time, he appears on this album under the alias "Asa Jones".[2]
