The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is the debut studio album by English electronic music group The Orb, released as a double album on 2 April 1991 by Big Life. It is a continuous, progressive composition following a two-hour psychedelic trip through various genres, samples and sound effects. Much of the album was recorded after founding member Jimmy Cauty left the group, leaving Alex Paterson as the central member, with additional contributions by Andy Falconer, Kris Weston, and others.

The album was preceded by the charting 1989 single "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld," which closes the album. The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld was well-received in Europe, and reached number 29 on the UK Albums Chart. It has since been credited with popularizing the UK's nascent ambient house movement.
