Run Devil Run is an album of mostly obscure 1950's rock and roll songs recorded and released by Paul McCartney in 1999.

Wanting to keep things fresh, a lesson he had learned from his experiences working on The Beatles Anthology project and put to perfect use on Flaming Pie, McCartney planned to cut the album as quickly as possible in order to capture the excitement of a live-in-the-studio performance, much like The Beatles had recorded many of their early songs. Asking Back to the Egg co-producer Chris Thomas to reprise that role again, McCartney booked time in Abbey Road Studios in early March to undertake his quest. Wanting to work with reliable and empathetic musicians, he called up Pink Floyd's David Gilmour to play guitar (having already worked with McCartney in the 1980's), as well as Mick Green, and on drums Ian Paice and Dave Mattacks. McCartney, naturally, played bass although he did appear on electric guitar in some instances. After a few more sessions in April and May, the album—featuring three new McCartney songs among the old classics—was complete.

The title Run Devil Run was inspired by a herbal medicine shop in Atlanta with products by that very name (the picture modifies the actual Rexall drugs sign).
