Artifact is an album by The Electric Prunes, self-released in 2001. It was their first studio album since 1969.

The album is said to be the "real third" album by the band since past efforts did not include material by the actual group. The sleeve notes state that it "was the album we never got to make." It is a return to most of the band's original 1960s line-up.
