Earphoria is a live album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It is the soundtrack of the band's Vieuphoria video. While the video has been widely available since its initial release, the CD was only released in a limited number (under 1000) of promo CD copies in 1994, and was subsequently heavily bootlegged. In 2002, Vieuphoria was reissued on DVD and Earphoria was finally given a commercial release.

The CD contains the audio to all of the performances seen in Vieuphoria, and also includes extended versions of the music used in the video interludes. An exception is the performance of "Silverfuck" – Earphoria includes the tease of "Over the Rainbow" while Vieuphoria edits it out, possibly due to prohibitive licensing costs.

All tracks written by Billy Corgan, unless otherwise noted.
