Thrakattak (written with consonants capitalized as THRaKaTTaK on the album cover) is a live album by the band King Crimson released in 1996 and recorded during their 1995 THRAK tour of the United States and Japan.
Each night the band would perform a collective improvisation in the middle of the instrumental piece "THRAK". This album presents an hour-long version of the piece, created by editing many of these improvisations together, bookended by the "THRAK" theme.
Track 2, "Fearless and Highly Thrakked", also appears on the 1999 live album On Broadway. An alternative version appears on Disc 1 of the 2001 live compilation album Vrooom Vrooom as "Biker Babes of the Rio Grande".
