Road to Rouen is the fifth studio album by English rock band Supergrass, released in the UK on 15 August 2005 (see 2005 in music). The album was recorded in a converted barn in Rouen, Normandy, and was a difficult album for the band due to personal reasons including Danny Goffey's tabloid ordeal and the death of the Coombes' mother.

The album naturally reflected a rough period for the band and as it was oriented towards longer, looser, more orchestral material. The record was highly acclaimed and well received by most fans of the band; it reached a respectable #9 on the UK charts[1]. But some listeners were disappointed in the album, expecting the band's friskier style, rather than the darker lyrics (however, In It for the Money elicited a similar reaction).
