Battleship Potemkin is a 2005 album of electronic and orchestral music written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys, to accompany the 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein. It was performed by Tennant, Lowe, and the Dresdner Sinfoniker, conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer, with orchestrations by Torsten Rasch, and was produced by Pet Shop Boys and Sven Helbig. The work was premiered alongside the film at an event in Trafalgar Square on 12 September 2004. The album was released in September 2005 under the composers' names, Tennant/Lowe, as is customary with classical releases.

In 2025, for the centenary of Battleship Potemkin, the British Film Institute released a restored version of the film with the Tennant/Lowe score on Blu-ray, with a limited theatrical release. The album was also reissued by Parlophone as a remastered CD and a double vinyl LP.
