Total Serene (stylised in all lowercase) is the second extended play by Australian alternative band Gang of Youths, released on 16 July 2021 via Mosy Recordings and Sony Music Australia. The EP was released without notice and is the first collection of new tracks from the band since their second album, Go Farther in Lightness (2017).

The EP features two original tracks and a cover of Elbow's "Asleep in the Back". David Le'aupepe explained its inclusion to the ABC saying, "We love Elbow and we thought it was thematically relevant."
