"Take a Break" is the fourth album by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, released on July 1, 2003 on Fat Wreck Chords independent record label.

The album consists entirely of R&B cover versions. Like its predecessor, "Blow in the Wind", several tracks are led off with appropriations of classic punk (or related genres like New Wave) riffs ("Crazy" incorporates "Six Pack" by Black Flag, "Save the Best for Last" includes "Pretty Vacant" by The Sex Pistols, and "I'll Be There" borrows the intro from The Cars' "Just What I Needed").
