Needle in a Slunk Stack is the twenty-sixth studio album by avant-garde guitarist Buckethead. It was announced on September 24, 2009 on TDRSMusic.com. Its name is a play on the popular saying "Needle in a Hay Stack".

It follows the style of Forensic Follies, as it uses a technique known as xenochrony which means he uses recycled beats and riffs from his previous albums, including Inbred Mountain, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, Slaughterhouse on the Prairie, and Island of Lost Minds. However, unlike Forensic Follies, in which even the drum tracks to previous songs are used, the songs on this album feature original drum tracks.
