Stumpwork is the second studio album by the English post-punk band Dry Cleaning, released on 21 October 2022 through independent label 4AD Records. Preceded by four singles, it is also the band's second consecutive record to be produced by John Parish on 4AD.

The album sees the band stylistically expand upon their previous record New Long Leg (2021), incorporating elements from genres such as jangle pop and funk whilst dealing with themes such as grief and consumerism. Like its predecessor, it was acclaimed upon release, and it landed on several year-end lists. At the 2024 Grammys, Stumpwork won the award for Best Recording Package.
