"Pennyroyal Tea" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by the vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It was released on Nirvana's third and final studio album, In Utero, in September 1993.

In November 1993, the song was remixed by Scott Litt, who had remixed the songs "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies", in preparation for its release as a single. The Litt remix was included on the censored version of In Utero, released in March 1994.

The "Pennyroyal Tea" single was set for release in April 1994, but cancelled following Cobain's death that month. A few copies survived the recall, and have become among the most sought after and expensive collectables in Nirvana's catalogue. A music video was also cancelled.

The "Pennyroyal Tea" single was released on limited edition 7-inch vinyl for Record Store Day in April 2014, and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart.
