Saturdays=Youth is an album by French electronic group M83 released on April 14, 2008. In December 2007, the band's Myspace was updated with album release info, and a new single entitled Couleurs.

The album was recorded with Ken Thomas (known for his work with Sigur Rós, The Sugarcubes, Cocteau Twins and Suede) and Ewan Pearson (who has also produced for Tracey Thorn, The Rapture and Ladytron). The album is said to deliver the rich sonic textures for which M83 is well known, but with a more focused approach to song structure and form.

"Couleurs" is the first single, released to digital retailers on February 25, 2008. The album's second single, "Graveyard Girl," was released on April 8, 2008 with the original album version as well as a remix by Yuksek.

The album hit number 107 on the billboard 200.
