Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia is the third studio album by American rock band The Dandy Warhols. It was released on August 1, 2000, through record label Capitol.

It is considered their breakthrough album, largely owing to the song "Bohemian Like You" being featured in a notable Vodafone advertisement. Four singles were released from the album: "Get Off", "Bohemian Like You", "Godless" and "Horse Pills" (the latter in Australia only).

Recording of the album commenced in December 1998 and concluded in March 1999. On the making of the album, frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor said that "we felt like we needed to make the last classic rock album. A record that would be, sonically, shaped somewhere in-between All Things Must Pass and Workingman's Dead."

The album's first single, "Get Off", was released in May 2000.

Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia was released on August 1 by record label Capitol. It is considered their breakthrough album due to the success of the album's second single "Bohemian Like You", released in August, which reached number 5 in the UK, despite the album only reaching number 182 in the US Billboard 200. It reached number 32 in the UK Albums Chart. A special edition of the album, titled Seven Tales for Urban Australia, was released at the band's Australian tour, containing a bonus disc of seven extra tracks.

Two further singles were released: "Godless", on July 17, 2001, and "Horse Pills" the same year, released in Australia only.

By 2003 the album had sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone.
