"Smooth Noodle Maps", released in 1990, was the eighth and final studio album by American New Wave band Devo.

The title of the album is a reference to the theory of chaos. Scientists would create visual graphic representation of random events/sequences and descibe the picture they had created as a 'smooth noodle map'. In essence, order in chaos.

The album includes a cover of the early 1960s song "(Walk Me Out In The) Morning Dew", typically "mutated" into a New Wave dance song.

Smooth Noodle Maps is, to date, Devo's last full-length studio album.
