Space Age Batchelor Pad Music (also known as The Groop Played "Space Age Batchelor Pad Music") is an EP (or "mini-LP") by the alternative music band Stereolab, originally released in March 1993. The release became an underground hit, and led to the band securing its first major-label record deal.

The title is spelled Space Age Batchelor Pad Music on the front cover, though not on the back cover or spine; The sleeve and label designs use artwork and text from Vanguard Records' "Stereolab" hi-fi test record after which the group was named, including the "flagbearer on horseback" logo of Vanguard Records itself. The EP title was later used by Bar/None Records for a 1994 compilation of tracks by Mexican lounge music legend Juan García Esquivel.
