Pennybridge Pioneers is the fourth album by Swedish punk rock band Millencolin, released on 22 February 2000 by Epitaph Records. The album was their first album to move away from their ska punk elements in favor of a more alternative rock sound. It was also the band's first album recorded outside their native country of Sweden, and their first to be certified gold in sales after selling over 35,000 copies in Australia.[2]

Its title is derived from the band's home town of Örebro, which jocularly translates to "Pennybridge" in English.[3] "Fox" and "Penguins & Polarbears" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. "No Cigar" was also released as a single and EP and appeared in the soundtracks of the video games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Jeremy McGrath Supercross World, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. "Pepper" was also included in the soundtrack album Music from and Inspired by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, though it was not included in the game itself.
