New Detention is an album which was produced by Australian rock band Grinspoon. It was released on 3 June 2002. It peaked at #2 on the ARIA album charts. The album spawned four singles: Chemical Heart, Lost Control, No Reason and 1000 Miles. These singles had a strong showing in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2002 with Chemical Heart reaching #2, Lost Control at #14, No Reason at #15 and 1000 Miles at #47.

The heartfelt ballad Chemical Heart was the first single to be released and marked a change in focus for the band towards a more mature, mainstream sound. This change would become more apparent on their next album release, Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills, however 'New Detention' did contain songs in the classic Grinspoon style to appeal to fans of their previous work, such as 'Boltcutter' and 'Killswitch.'

The 2003 rerelease of the album included a bonus CD that contained the tracks from the Panic Attack EP, which is now unavailable individually. The album was rereleased again without the bonus CD on July 19, 2004.
