Électronique Noire (released 1998 in Oslo, Norway by Jazzland – 558 128-2, EmArcy – 558 128-2) is a Nu Jazz album by the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.

This is a ground breaking debut solo album, and whether collaborating with trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer or recording for Bugge Wesseltoft's Jazzland label, Eivind Aarset remains a highly treasured ambasadour of the Norwegian jazz scene. Électronique noire was rated "one of the best electric jazz albums of the post-Miles era" by no less than the New York Times. Melting jazz and electronic music into the most unexpected alloys, incorporating Aarsets unstoppable creativity and very personal sound, the result is an appreciably hearable album.

The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars, and the reviewer Beate Nossum of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 3.
