- Four More Respected Gentlemen is an unreleased album by the English rock band the Kinks. The project arose out of the band's different American contract schedule, which obligated them to submit a new LP to Reprise Records in June 1968. As the band continued recording their next album, released later in the year as The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, bandleader Ray Davies submitted fifteen completed master tapes to Reprise. The label planned to issue the LP in the US in November 1968, but abandoned the project only a month beforehand for unclear reasons. Reprise initially expected to include twelve tracks on Four More Respected Gentlemen, but later resequenced it to have eleven. The eleven tracks were mostly recorded between late 1967 and June 1968 and are generally fast rock songs. Davies later stated that he intended the album to satirise English social etiquette, though commentators dispute his characterisation. Following Reprise's abandonment of the album, its songs were spread across several subsequent releases, including Village Green and the US compilation albums The Kink Kronikles (1972) and The Great Lost Kinks Album (1973). Work on the LP did not proceed beyond the white-label test-pressing stage. As of 2000, only two test pressings are known to exist. (en)

- It was long thought that production was halted prior to the manufacture of test pressings. However, at least two have come to light in recent years, which strongly suggests the release of [Four More Respected Gentlemen] was cancelled at the eleventh hour, in favour of [[[The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society]]]. (en)
- [Four More Respected Gentlemen] was going to be an LP about manners and things. Table manners. What a joke that all is. The album got mixed in with Village Green and we decided to finish Village Green instead. And instead of having two albums, I tried to put as many tracks on one album as possible. (en)
