Pennybridge Pioneers is the fourth album by the Swedish punk rock group Millencolin, released on February 22, 2000 by Epitaph Records.

It was also the band's first album recorded outside their native country of Sweden, and their first to be certified gold in sales after selling over 35,000 copies in Australia.[3]
Its title is derived from the band's home town of in Örebro, which translates to "Pennybridge" in English.[4] "Fox" and "Penguins & Polarbears" were released as singles with accompanying music videos.
