El Gran Orgo is the third EP by American post-hardcore band At the Drive-In, released on September 18, 1997 on Off Time Records. The EP is the band's first release to feature bass guitarst Paul Hinojos and drummer Tony Hajjar, who would remain in the band for the rest of its career.
Produced by Bryan Jones and the band itself, the EP was recorded in January 1997, without the presence of founding member Jim Ward, whose guitar duties were filled by Ben Rodriguez and Omar Rodriguez, the latter of whom had previously played bass on the band's debut album, Acrobatic Tenement (1996).
The title "El Gran Orgo" is taken from one of the characters of the movie Santa Sangre by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Both Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala are declared fans of Jodorowsky's work.
