'''''Post Orgasmic Chill''''' is the third studio album by British rock band [[Skunk Anansie]], first released in 1999. Two album covers exist: the European version with the band lounging in an oceanside apartment, and the American version with the band standing on the [[Atlantic City]] boardwalk {{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}. It was a complete departure from their previous two albums,<ref name="allmusic"/> which had elements of [[punk rock]] and [[alternative rock]], towards a new harder sound with elements of [[hard rock]] and [[alternative metal]].
It took eleven years for the group to release their next album, ''[[Wonderlustre]]''.

Two-disc 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition was released in 2024.

==Etymology==
The album title resembles the title of the 13th song, a Japanese bonus track called "Post Orgasmic Sleep".

==Legacy==
The album was included in the book ''[[1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die]]''.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Robert Dimery|author2=Michael Lydon|title=1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: Revised and Updated Edition|date=23 March 2010|publisher=Universe|isbn=978-0-7893-2074-2}}</ref>
