Digeridoo is an EP by the musician Richard D. James under the alias The Aphex Twin, released in January 1992 on R&S Records.[1] The title track had previously been released as "Aboriginal Mix" on Analog Bubblebath Vol 2.

The UK edition of the record, released in April 1992, entered the Dance Singles Chart at No. 10,[2] and the main Singles Chart at No. 55,[3] on 9 May.

"Digeridoo" does not contain an actual didgeridoo sample. Instead, James "labored for three days to concoct an electronic simulacrum of the primordial drone."[4]

The track "Flaphead" on the CD version of the EP is extended by about 20 seconds compared to the vinyl version (here titled "Flap Head").
