Sweet Robots Against the Machine is the third solo album from Japanese electronic musician Towa Tei, released in 1999 in Japan only on EastWest Records. In its original form the album came with a bonus disc which contained the last track "A Night of Ubud".

As was the case with Tei's previous albums, Sweet Robots Against the Machine incorporates a variety of musical styles, although its base-genre is electronic. Included on the album is a cover version of Patrice Rushen's 1982 hit "Forget Me Nots".

Sweet Robots Against the Machine was re-issued in 2002 with different cover art and a different track list, although it differed so much from the original album some fans consider it a new Towa Tei release that happens to have the same title.
