Music for Adverts (and Short Films) is the fourth studio album by English electronic music project The Black Dog, released in 1996 on double vinyl, cassette, and CD. It was the first without participation by Ed Handley and Andy Turner who left to continue their work as Plaid.

The album continues Ken Downie's passion for the ancient world and magic. Downie's own favorite tracks came to be "The Wind Spirit" "[...] and 'Euthanasia' because it gives me goosebumps. And 'Kheprit', because it sums up everything about the Black Dog in 7 minutes."^[1]
