Moo, You Bloody Choir is the third studio album by the Australian indie rock band Augie March. It was released in 2006 in Australia by BMG. It debuted at #10 on the ARIA album charts and was nominated for Album of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 2006 (Lost to Tea and Sympathy (album) by Bernard Fanning). The title comes directly out of the lyrics to "The Honey Month." The lead single One Crowded Hour debuted at #37 on the ARIA singles chart and was voted #1 on the Triple J Hottest 100 chart.

The album was re-released 19 May 2007 with a bonus CD of live and unreleased tracks. The 2006 version of "There Is No Such Place" features an orchestra.
