Supergrass is the third studio album by the English alternative rock band Supergrass. It was released in the UK on 20 September 1999 and reached number 3. It is often referred to as "the X-ray album", due to the picture on the sleeve. In Australia a free CD was included with some live tracks. In 2022, the album was remastered and reissued as a 2CD deluxe edition, which includes new remixes of several of the songs created by John Leckie and John Cornfield among other bonus tracks.
