Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae is a studio album released by Mad Professor with Lee "Scratch" Perry, released in 1996.

Critical reception

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch stated: "Mad Professor makes a fun farrago of Perry's vocals by compressing them, varying their speed, and echoing them in cascades toward the horizon as the drums and bass maintain militancy."

AllMusic wrote that "as insane as Perry normally sounds, being awash in the psychedelic soundwaves of dub suits his raving-madman vocal style even more perfectly."
