IC-01 Hanoi is the first instrumental album by New Zealand band Unknown Mortal Orchestra, released on 26 October 2018 through Jagjaguwar. It is the group's second album of 2018 after Sex & Food, released in April, and their first instrumental album. The album was recorded entirely in the city of Hanoi, Vietnam, and originated from sessions for Sex & Food, with frontman Ruban Nielson's father, Chris Nielson, also contributing instrumentation to the record.
The first single, the nearly 10-minute ambient and freeform "Hanoi 6", was released on 25 September 2018. The album was promoted by a series of shows across Europe and the UK, as well as Asia and several in Mexico. It was followed by IC-02 Bogotá in 2025.
