Hell Below/Stars Above is the second album by the American alternative rock band Toadies. After Interscope Records rejected the Toadies's first attempt at a second album (otherwise known as the Feeler sessions), Hell Below/Stars Above was a second attempt at a follow-up to their 1994 debut album Rubberneck.

Five songs from the Feeler sessions were re-recorded during the sessions for Hell Below/Stars Above, with "Push the Hand", "Best of Three" (as "What We Have We Steal") and "Dollskin" included on Hell Below/Stars Above, while "Joey, Let's Go" was later released on a compilation CD and "Waterfall" was never officially released.

Hell Below/Stars Above was completed in March 2000, more than a year before its release on Interscope Records. The Toadies broke up shortly after its release due to internal conflicts, not regrouping until 2006.
