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.

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