Emperor Tomato Ketchup is the fourth album by British avant-pop band Stereolab, released on 18 March 1996 in the United Kingdom and 9 April 1996 in the United States. At the time it was their greatest success to date both commercially and critically. Three singles were released from the album: "Cybele's Reverie", "Metronomic Underground" and "The Noise of Carpet". It takes its name from the 1971 Shuji Terayama-directed Japanese film Tomato Kecchappu Kôtei (Emperor Tomato Ketchup).
Emperor Tomato Ketchup was ranked the 51st greatest album of the 1990s by Pitchfork Media, and went on to appear in numerous other decade-end lists. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
