Electric Tepee is a 1992 studio album by Hawkwind which reached #53 in the UK album charts.

It was for many^{[citation needed]} the lowlight of Hawkwind's 1990s albums. A very much stripped down line-up of Brock, Davey and Chadwick present 14 tracks of , electronic swirls and beeps, with rather prosaic drumming by Chadwick. What many felt^{[citation needed]} was the album's patchiness was not well compensated for by 78 minute running time.
