Outpost Transmission is a studio album by the British electronic music group 808 State, released in 2002. It is their sixth studio album, and their first new material since 1996's Thermo Kings.[5]

Guests on this album were: Simon Lord (Simian) on "606", Guy Garvey (Elbow) on "Lemonsoul", and Alabama 3 on "Crossword".

It is also their final studio recording to feature Darren Partington, as he left the band after being jailed for 18 months in January 2015 for dealing heroin and crack cocaine.[6]
