Ege Bamyası (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈeɟe ˈbamjasɯ], lit. "Aegean okra") is the third studio album by German krautrock band Can, released on 29 November 1972 by United Artists Records. The album contains the single "Spoon", which charted in the Top 10 in Germany after being used as the theme song to the German television mini-series Das Messer. The success of the single allowed Can to establish their own studio, Inner Space, in Weilerswist, North Rhine-Westphalia, where they recorded the rest of the album.

Ege Bamyası has received much critical acclaim since its release and has been cited as an influence by various artists, with several playing cover versions of songs from the album. Remix versions of several tracks by various artists are included on the 1997 album Sacrilege. It was remastered and reissued as a hybrid SACD in 2004.

As wonderful as the Krautrocker's fourth album might be, there's no doubting the fact that 10-minute space-rock jams fronted by Japanese buskers...
