Mud Rock Vo.II (or Vol.2) is the title of the second album by British group Mud released on 20 June 1975 on the RAK label.

The follow-up to the previous year's Mud Rock, the album entered the UK chart at no.9 and peaked at no.6 two weeks later, remaining in the Top 40 for nine weeks. It was preceded by the hit singles The Secrets That You Keep, a Chinn/Chapman composition and a cover version of the 1950s song Oh Boy, no.1 for two weeks in April 1975. A further hit Moonshine Sally, another Chinn/Chapman song, followed in June although the track was not included on Mud Rock Vol.2. A third album track One Night was later also released as a single, reaching no.32 in the UK.
