"Parallel Universe" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1999 album, Californication. It was released as a single in the USA only though a video was never made for the song.

It is the second track on Californication. Although being one of the album's loudest songs it does not contain any of the Chili's signature rap or funk that they were primarily known for at the time. Anthony Kiedis' vocals are subdued during the verses, reflecting an approach towards melodic balladry, whilst similarly the song lyrically tackles darker, more introspective themes than those that the band generally had a reputation for.
