Happiness is a studio album by the English instrumental post-rock band Fridge. It was released in 2001 on Text Records.[3] According to AllMusic, the album's highlights are "Cut Up Piano and Xylophone" described as a "soft, gauzy piece reminiscent of '70s minimalism", and "Five Four Child Voice".[1]

It was re-released in April 2023 on vinyl, having been "restored, reconstructed, and remastered" by Fridge guitarist Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) .[4]
