Apathy and Exhaustion is the third album by the Chicago, Illinois punk rock band The Lawrence Arms, released in 2002 by Fat Wreck Chords. It was the band's first album to be released on that label, and with this release, the band formed a close relationship with the label and its founder Fat Mike, with whom they released their next two albums. It was also their first full-length album recorded with producer Matt Allison, with whom they would go on to record all of their subsequent material.

Apathy and Exhaustion shows the band experimenting with verse/chorus structures, and infectious pop melodies.

Fat Mike included this album on a list of the 25 best albums released on Fat Wreck Chords.

An independent music video was filmed for the song "Porno and Snuff Films."
