www.tism.wanker.com is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock group TISM (This Is Serious Mum), released in June 1998. The album peaked at number 26 on the ARIA charts.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998, the album was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release.^[1]

The title references an internet URL which, at the time of release, was a subdomain (of wanker.com) provided by a friendly person overseas who had registered wanker.com, as TISM were not able to obtain their preferred domain, wanker.com.au, due to Australian domain regulations. However, the web hosting fees were not paid, subsequently it was taken down by the hosting ISP several months after launch and has not been available since.

Early editions of the CD featured a CD-ROM component. The program asks the user whether they want to continue – repeatedly. Eventually, it responds "OK then. Downloading virus." No virus is actually downloaded.

In October 2009, the album was released to iTunes for digital download, with nine bonus tracks from the band's 1996 gospel demo session No Penis, No God as bonus tracks. On 16 April 2024, No Penis, No God was released on limited-edition bootleg-style LP, with five unreleased bonus tracks from the sessions.

On 12 October 2022, the album was announced for a November reissue on CD and blue vinyl, with the CD containing five of the six actual songs from the original 1998 bonus CD, Att: Shock Records Faulty Pressing Do Not Manufacture (the rest of the tracks were poems and recordings of the band talking amongst each other), plus "Drop the Tude", a B-side to the "I Might Be a Cunt, but I'm Not a Fucking Cunt" single.^[2]

In May 2023, the band released a seven-disc box set called the Wanker Box, celebrating the album's 25th anniversary. This features the original 12-track album, the six bonus songs included on the 2022 CD reissue, plus 12 songs from the rare Att: Shock Records Faulty Pressing Do Not Manufacture compilation (originally included as a bonus disc with the 1998 CD release), mixes and B-sides and more than a dozen previously unreleased tracks.^[3] The riff to "Choose Lose", one of the unreleased tracks from the boxset, would later be used for the band's 2024 single "Death to Art", while the lyrics were later rewritten and used as the basis for the unreleased song "Sickie", which was only performed live in 1998 and 1999.
