"Trees Outside the Academy" is an alternative rock album by American musician Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. It was released on 18 September, 2007 and was Moore's first solo album since 1995's "Psychic Hearts". It was released on Moore's own label, Ecstatic Peace. It was recorded with Sonic Youth's drummer Steve Shelley and violinist Samara Lubelski.

The recording took place at Dinosaur Jr guitarist J. Mascis' home studio. Mascis also contributed lead guitar for some tracks. It features the track "Thurston @ 13" which is, "Some weird cassette tape that Thurston found at his mom's of him at 13 years old in the early '70s performing some kind of odd sound-theatre."

The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, barely missing the Billboard 200.
