Prom King is the debut album by Skylar Spence, a pseudonym of New York City-based electronic musician Ryan DeRobertis. The album was released on September 18, 2015 via Carpark Records.

DeRobertis started using the Skylar Spence name after copyright issues with his previous name, Saint Pepsi. Prom King was mostly recorded at home and four singles were released preceding the album. Prom King is a pop and dance album, marking a sonic departure for DeRobertis. In the album, DeRobertis sings and strays from the sampled vaporwave-like music he had created previously. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, and placed on PopMatters' year-end best list for 2015. Common comments from critics were about the album's effervescence, its nostalgia, and its cohesiveness.
