Robot Monster is the ninth album by Canadian guitarist Don Ross, released in 2003. It is his third and final recording on the Narada/Virgin label. The album takes its title from the science-fiction film of the same name.
Music critic Mark Deming, writing for Allmusic, wrote the album "The disc is mostly balanced between the sort of aggressive, mojo-working-again kind of optimistic intensity and more reflective ballads that show a heart in the healing process. Knowing the story of his wife's passing from cancer makes the lush, languid, steel guitar-enhanced "Goodbye Kelly Goodbye" a true tearjerker." Critic Bernard Richter praised the album and wrote "Each one of the 12 tunes has a strong musical foundation, and the listener—while taken aback because of Ross' sheer virtuosity—is easily pulled into the music itself."
