Hot Foot Powder is an album by the British blues band the Peter Green Splinter Group, led by Peter Green. Released in 2000, this was their fifth album. Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member of that group from 1967–70, before a sporadic solo career during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Like one of the group's previous albums, The Robert Johnson Songbook, Hot Foot Powder consisted of songs written by Robert Johnson, and included contributions by a number of notable blues musicians, including Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Otis Rush, David Honeyboy Edwards, Joe Louis Walker and Dr. John. It was re-released in 2004 by Snapper Music with bonus tracks.
