Tales from the Punchbowl is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Primus, released on June 6, 1995.

Players must "navigate from the helm of Captain Shiner's ferryboat through an enchanted liquid atmosphere to many strange and mysterious islands.

Printed on the actual CD is a ship helm instead of the large image of Captain Shiner's face that appeared on the original, more common pressing.

In his review for AllMusic, Daniel Gioffre describes the album as "unabashed prog rock ... which even the thick dollops of irony that the band seeks to impart to its compositions are unable to mask completely."

"[8] Tales from the Punchbowl was nearly as successful as Pork Soda, and peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200, making it Primus' second-highest chart position.
