"The Last DJ" is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, first released in early October 2002 (see 2002 in music). The tracks "The Last DJ", "Money Becomes King", "Joe", and "Can't Stop the Sun" are all sharp attacks on the greediness of the music industry. Petty says that "Joe" is the angriest song he has ever written; interestingly, the album's Allmusic review calls it "easily the worst song he's ever written".digipack version was also released, including a DVD of music videos and other footage shot during the album's production.

The album reached #9 on the Billboard 200 aided by the single "The Last DJ" which hit #22 on "Billboard's" Mainstream Rock Tracks in 2002.
