"LP5" is the fifth album by the electronic music group Autechre. It was released in 1998 by Warp Records. (The album does not provide a title, but Warp Records reference it as "LP5", in line with "EP7"; some call it "Autechre", however.

This album shows Autechre finally abandoning the full, warm sounds of albums like "Tri Repetae" for a stripped-down, technical style they had begun exploring on "Chiastic Slide" and the "Cichlisuite" EP.
