Smooth Noodle Maps, released in 1990, was the eighth and final studio album by American New Wave band Devo. The album is generally regarded by fans as a much better album than the group's previous studio effort, Total Devo.^{[citation needed]}

The title of the album is a reference to the surface of the human brain, as referred to during "Devo Has Feelings Too". The lyric asks the audience to "snake through the chaos with a smooth noodle map"; in essence, use one's brain.

The album includes a cover of the early 1960s song "(Walk Me Out In The) Morning Dew", typically "mutated" into a New Wave dance song.
