Pornoise Xtra, also released as Xtra-Pornoise and Pornoise/Extra is a studio album by Merzbow released on 1984. The album features tracks that didn't make the cut on the 1984 box set Pornoise/1kg.

The album was first released in 1984 by ZSF Produkt as both Pornoise Xtra and Pornoise/Extra, with identical track listing.[1][2] It was reissued in 1985 as Xtra-Pornoise by Lowest Music & Arts. Although the track listing was identical, the 1985 liner notes states that it was recorded and mixed at Merz Studio, Toko, Tokyo, in January–February 1984.[3] All three releases were on a C60 cassette.

The album was released again on 2000 as part of the 50 CD box set Merzbox (CD 21), though with different track names.[4] One of the tracks on the Merzbox version, "Helgas Death Disco", was also used in the 1997 Merzbox Sampler.[5]
