Do You Like My Tight Sweater? is the first album by the electronic/dance duo Moloko, released in October 1995. The title of the album is derived from the singer Róisín Murphy's pick-up line to Mark Brydon at a party in 1995: "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!" A romantic and professional relationship between the two continued for several years after. Do You Like My Tight Sweater? combined three tracks from a 1995 independently released EP Where is the What if the What is in Why? with fourteen new recordings.

This is the only Moloko album to receive a release in the United States (via Warner Bros. Records) as part of the electronica hype of the late 1990s. The album's first single, "Fun for Me", was used on the soundtrack of the 1997 film Batman and Robin, and was used as the theme for a Lucky Strike advertisement.

The album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry in July 2013,^[1] for UK sales exceeding 60,000 copies.
