Royal Astronomy is the fifth studio album by British electronic music producer µ-Ziq, released on 26 July 1999 by Hut Records and Astralwerks.
Jon Dolan of Spin gave the album a 7 out of 10, saying, "Royal Astronomy is his most ambitious work to date: a bold stab at classicism steeped in lush orchestrations that can be anything from sweetly elegiac to darkly bizarre—as if the embattled soul conducting the musicians is being torn between millennial nightmares and wistful visions of empires past." Sarah Zupko of PopMatters gave the album an 8.5 out of 10, calling it "the most advanced and adventurous work of his career."
NME named it the 38th best album of 1999.
