Commercial Album is an album released by the Residents in 1980. It is commonly considered a follow-up of Duck Stab/Buster & Glen. The album pares down the concept and structure of the average commercial pop song and reduces it to a one-minute redux. It contains a compilation of 40 such sixty-second vignettes.

The Commercial Album is another manifestation of The Residents' whimsical relationship with pop music and their interest in music about music.

The Commercial Album is a concept album by The Residents, released in 1980 on Ralph Records.
