New Long Leg is the debut studio album by the English post-punk band Dry Cleaning, released on 2 April 2021 through the independent label 4AD. It was recorded with producer John Parish between lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, after having to postpone their tour in support of their EPs, Sweet Princess (2018) and Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks (2019).

Largely retaining Florence Shaw's spoken word delivery and the post-punk style of their previous material, New Long Leg sees Shaw beginning to transition away from found texts in favour of her own written material and observations, while the band prioritised a groove-oriented sound and incorporated drum machines. It was widely acclaimed upon release and placed on several year-end lists, and it reached no. 4 in the UK Album Charts.
