Abducting the Unicorn is the debut album by the band The Pineapple Thief, released in 1999. Originally titled "Abducted at Birth", it was later renamed due to the original record label requesting the title to suggest a connection to Bruce Soord's previous band, Vulgar Unicorn. On 25 February 2014, it was announced via the band's Facebook page that the upcoming reissue, slated for release in early 2015, would return to the originally intended title. Being that the album was loosely written about how we are all in some way indoctrinated from birth, the title "Abducting the Unicorn" was regarded as nonsensical, therefore the current record label Kscope subsequently agreed to the original title being used.
The reissued 'Abducted at Birth' was released on Kscope Records on 7 November 2017.

The album marked several changes for the band, with it being the first with new drummer Gavin Harrison and the first to move into a more heavy metal and progressive metal direction, contrary to past albums' psychedelic and pop rock sounds. Additionally, it was their first release on a major record label, Lava Records. It was very well received critically and commercially, with it often being considered the band's crowning achievement, and selling over triple what any of the band's prior albums had in the past.
