Unpredictable is the second solo studio album by American rapper Mystikal. It was released on November 11, 1997, by No Limit Records and Jive Records, making it his first album for the label.

It features guest appearances from Master P, Silkk the Shocker, O'Dell, B-Legit, E-40, Fiend, Mac, Mia X, and Snoop Doggy Dogg, who made his first appearance on a No Limit Records album, however he had not yet signed with the label and is credited as still being signed to Death Row Records in the album's liner notes.[4]
