Sad Man Happy Man is a studio album by Mike Doughty, released in 2009 on ATO Records.

Critical reception

The album received positive reviews. The Associated Press wrote that "the subtle folk-rock diversity goes from dark ('I Want To Burn You Down') to soaring ('Year Of The Dog') and is rounded out by tight grooves ('Pleasure On Credit') and jangling love songs ('Diane' and the delightfully offbeat 'Lorna Zauberberg')."
