Baby Monkey is the third studio album by Voodoo Child, the pseudonym of American electronica artist Moby. According to the album's liner notes, Moby claims that he released the album under his pseudonym so he could concentrate on the music without having to worry about promotion or record sales. This album has often been seen as Moby's most dance-oriented album since Everything Is Wrong from 1995.
