Wish I'd Taken Pictures is the third studio album, fourth album overall, by American queercore band Pansy Division, released on February 13, 1996 by Lookout! Records and Mint Records.

The front and back covers feature photographs of Mark Ewert and Moon Trent, taken by Marc Geller. Ewert previously appeared on the cover of Pansy Division's 1994 album Deflowered and both men subsequently appeared twenty years later on the cover of their 2016 album Quite Contrary , photographed in the same location.

The cassette release of this album is unique compared to other Lookout! Records albums in that it comes in a clear purple shell.

Critical reception

Wish I'd Taken Pictures was generally well received by fans and critics alike. AllMusic noted that "it's got more of a strong punk kick than Deflowered, helped in part by Dustin Donaldson's turn on the drum kit and tighter riffs from Jon Ginoli and Chris Freeman."
