The Agent Intellect is the third studio album by Detroit post-punk band Protomartyr, released on 9 October 2015 on Hardly Art. Produced, recorded and mixed by Bill Skibbe at Key Club Recording in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the album was preceded by the singles, "Why Does It Shake?", "Dope Cloud" and "I Forgive You".

The album is named after an ancient medieval philosophical questioning of how the mind operates in relation to the so-called active intellect, also known as agent intellect and other names. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, increasing Protomartyr's exposure significantly, and placed highly on several critics and publications' end-of-year lists.
