Drukqs (stylised as drukQs) is a 2001 double album by electronic musician Richard D. James, released under his most frequently used pseudonym, Aphex Twin. It is his fifth studio album under this alias.

However, Drukqs is spelled in lower case everywhere else on the packaging, so most fans simply pronounce it drucks. James has stated that the title is not related to drugs, and is "just a word made up." The 5-track promotional CD of the album is spelled Drukqs.

Drukqs is available in three formats for purchase. The first and most common is the CD release. The second is the regular 180-gram vinyl release.
