A Break from the Norm is a compilation album arranged and released by Fatboy Slim, under his name of Norman Cook. It was released in 2001.

The album was released to illustrate where Cook obtained a number of his samples for famous Fatboy Slim songs, and as such most of the artists (and tracks) are relatively obscure.
