Twin Infinitives is the second album by Royal Trux. It was released as a double LP in 1990 by Drag City, then reissued on CD and cassette in 1994.

"Twin Infinitives" is noted for its deconstructed arrangements, unorthodox vocals and overall muddled production, all extremes rarely visited to such degrees on other Royal Trux releases. The release is also noteworthy as the first full length album to be released by Chicago independent label Drag City.
