Mad Butcher is the second EP by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on 6 March 1987. It is the band's first studio recording featuring a four-piece lineup instead of a trio. Tommy Sandmann had left the band and two new members had entered the group: a new drummer, Oliver Kaiser, and a new guitarist, Harry Wilkens.

"Mad Butcher", the first song of the album, is a re-recording from the Sentence of Death EP with a faster tempo and double solos from Sifringer and Wilkens. The second song, "The Damned", is a cover song of the Plasmatics. The third song, "Reject Emotions", is a power ballad. Finally, "The Last Judgement" is an instrumental song played by Wilkens.
