Gigantoid is the eleventh studio album by American stoner rock band Fu Manchu. It was released on April 29, 2014, on At the Dojo Records.[4] The album features "a slightly more primitive, raw and ultra fuzzed-out sound" than previous releases.[5]

Initially released as a 2013 split seven-inch single with psych-metal trio Moab, "Robotic Invasion" appears as a bonus track on the digital version of Gigantoid.[5]
