Moss Elixir is an album by English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, released in 1996. It contains twelve original compositions, predominantly acoustic.
Moss Elixir came packaged in green and gold, continuing the theme of his earlier solo acoustic albums, I Often Dream of Trains and Eye. The CD insert includes a short story: a vaguely autobiographical, surrealist account of Hitchcock in the afterlife, which weaves several images and titles from the album's contents into its storyline, including the elixir of the album's title.
"De Chirico Street" alludes to metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico. The album's first single was "Alright, Yeah".
