Low Blows is the debut studio album by Australian singer-songwriter, Meg Mac. The album was recorded in Texas in the US and Victoria, Australia.[2] It was released on 14 July 2017.

Mac said she wanted to aim for a live sound: "A lot of the vocal performances are live and unedited. It is hard to leave mistakes on a record but I think it was important to do that."[3]

At the J Awards of 2017, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[4]
