'Shaved Fish' is the seventh album by John Lennon, released in October 1975 on Apple Records, catalogue SW 3421. It is a compilation of singles, comprising every one that he had issued in the United States as a solo artist with the exception of "Stand By Me," taken from the album Rock 'n' Roll. The only compilation of his non-Beatles recordings released during his lifetime, it was a commercial success, reaching #5 in the UK and #12 in the US, ultimately going platinum. It is currently out of print in any format.

The compilation includes many of Lennon's most popular solo recordings, five of which had not yet appeared on an album. Eight of these singles made the Top 40 on the Billboard chart, with "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" going to #1; five made the Top Ten in the United Kingdom. "Imagine," never a single in the UK, was issued as such concurrent to the release of this album, going to #5 in the UK chart. Several of the master tapes were unavailable for the compilation, and dubs were used, some with shorter fadeouts.

Its release came less than two weeks after the resolution of Lennon's long-running immigration dispute, and the birth of Sean Lennon. The name of the album originates from the Japanese food katsuobushi, a kind of dried fish.
