Infinity Land is the third album by the Scottish band Biffy Clyro, released on 4 October 2004 on record label Beggars Banquet. The album saw the band move into darker territory, in terms of both sound and lyrical content. The album was released on both CD and Vinyl. The cover art was created by Chris Fleming, who also created the cover art for all the singles from Infinity Land.

Simon Neil has stated in various interviews that the title Infinity Land is a reference to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

"It was in a Jeffrey Dahmer book, he talks about his ideal place, which is called Infinity Land - his idea of heaven - which is really grim, being surrounded by corpses and shit. You don't know what it's about, it could sound hopeful, but when you know what it's referring to, it becomes quite sinister. In a way, it's kinda cool that people don't know what we're referring to, that people make up their own meanings for things... it could be quite optimistic, but it's not."

The album contains a spoken word hidden track, "Tradition Feed". After the final track, "Pause And Turn It Up", approximately 18 minutes of silence precedes a short poem, read by Simon Neil, dedicated to his late mother. "Tradition Feed" can also be found as a B-side to the vinyl 7" single "Only One Word Comes To Mind".

As with each of the band's first three albums, it has been played in full once only, on 15 December 2005 at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow.

It has sold roughly 50,000 copies and is Biffy's highest selling release to date.

Released on both CD and 12" Vinyl Gatefold.
