Pennybridge Pioneers is the fourth album by the Swedish punk rock group Millencolin, released on February 22, 2000 by Epitaph Records. The album was their first album to move away from their ska punk elements in favor of a more alternative rock sound. It was also the band's first album recorded outside their native country of Sweden, and their first to be certified gold in sales after selling over 35,000 copies in Australia.[3]

Its title is derived from the band's home town of in Örebro, which translates to "Pennybridge" in English.[4] "Fox" and "Penguins & Polarbears" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. "No Cigar" was also released as a single and EP and appeared in the soundtracks of the video games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Jeremy McGrath Supercross World and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.
