Milk Me is the sixth studio album by American hip hop duo The Beatnuts. It was released on August 31, 2004 via Penalty Recordings/Rykodisc. Recording sessions took place at The Cutting Room in New York. Produced entirely by the Beatnuts, it featured guest appearances from Chris Chandler, Gab Goblin, A.G., Akon, Colion, Freeway, Greg Nice, Milano, Prince Whipper Whip, Rahzel, Tony Touch and Triple Seis.

It was critically received as a solid effort, but barely scraped the Billboard 200, peaking at number 196. In addition, none of its three singles—"Hot", "Find Us" and "It's Nothing"—were able to chart. The album's title was inspired by a phrase uttered by a man in "some porno". The album contains more live instruments—as opposed to sampling—than prior Beatnuts efforts.
